Whats the difference between FEA and Preliminary FEA?
FEA is a general technique primarily used to define and clarify the requirements related to a developmental system. Special cases of FEA are used as part of the ongoing systems engineering effort during concept exploration to assess the interaction of operational, logistical, and technical parameters related to evolving systems. Preliminary FEA™ is specifically designed to be used at the front-end of project and enterprise startup activities to build an understanding of the gap between the current state of a project or business idea and where the entrepreneur or project manager desires to take that idea. Preliminary FEA™ is used to define a set of business and project-related requirements to be used in exploring viable alternative solutions for achieving definitive end-states.
