a) Shows vulnerability of project.
b) Indicates where further work may be done.
Demerits of Sensitivity Analysis:
a) One variable is changed at a time.
b) Interpretation of results is subjective.
Differences between Feasibility Analysis and sensitivity Analysis ?
Feasibility Analysis |
Sensitivity Analysis |
a) Done before implementation of program |
a) Done during project implementation |
b) Doesn’t depend on variable. |
b) Depends on variable for analysis. |
c) Done to make a program successful / accept or reject program. |
