Use it in professional meetings to show feasibility. Use it with friends when planning a weekend trip. It is perfect for encouraging someone who is doubting themselves. It works well in text messages for quick confirmation. Use it when you want to be the person with the answers. It makes you sound decisive and reliable in any scenario.

Don't use it if you are actually unsure. If there is even a 10% chance of failure, avoid it. It sounds a bit silly for very obvious things. For instance, don't use it for basic biological facts. 'Is it possible to sleep?' is too basic for this much emphasis. Avoid it if you want to remain non-committal or vague. It is a phrase for people who take a stand.
