How to use it
A model sentence
“Whether the project can realistically be done: scheduling (time) and financial (cost) feasibility.” Then apply it: Can it be finished by term 4 within budget?
In a short answer, give the definition in your own words first, then tie it to the situation in the question. Do not copy the example above unless it fits the scenario.
