Tools and Techniques for Effective Planning

Evaluate the factors that will either support or hinder a change in an organisation or entity. 

A SWOT Analysis is used in project planning, strategic planning and other processes where agreement is needed about the current situation of a project, team, department or organization. It stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

This process is used to prioritize certain factors among others. It is also referred to as identifying the "critical few" that play a significant role in whatever issue is being examined.

This is a simple method to prioritize actions as part of an action planning workshop, after a list of actions has been generated.
