Information Technology - The planning phase - establishing control
mechanisms
Establishing Control Mechanisms
A clear set of procedures and techniques must be established to ensure
that proper controls exist on any data gathered in subsequent stages to
ensure that it is valid. For example, it is often necessary to follow-up an
interview or survey with direct observation to confirm your findings.

The feasibility matrix was interesting and also you always wan to have facts to back up any data found or created.
It helps data and information to be accurate.
Some information in the matrix chart I can't figure out, can we have some more details?
This will help to make sure that your data/ information is accurate
Establishing Control mechanisms you to know which tools is suit for the work and ensure that proper controls exist on any data gathered in subsequent stages to ensure that it is valid.
A clear set of procedures and techniques must be established to ensure that proper controls exist on any data gathered in subsequent stages to ensure that it is valid
Follow up interview and survey is vital to ensure the validity of data. So clarity of processes should be put in place to help confirm such findings.

Now in the process of implementing the whole study, it is possible to effect some changes taken into accounts the change of environment, global financial changes etc?
