== Definition ==

'''SWOT Analysis''', is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the '''S'''trengths, '''W'''eaknesses, '''O'''pportunities, and '''T'''hreats involved in a project.

SWOT involves:
# Specifying the objective of the project
# Identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective.

Once an objective has been identified, one can analyze the four SWOT factors:

; Internal factors
* Strengths: attributes of the organization that are helpful to achieving the objective.
* Weaknesses: attributes of the organization that are harmful to achieving the objective.
; External factors
* Opportunities: external conditions that are helpful to achieving the objective.
* Threats: external conditions that are harmful to achieving the objective.

Furthermore, a SWOT Matrix (also called TOWS) can then identify strategies:

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><center>Strengths</center></td>
<td><center>Weaknesses</center></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Opportunities </td>
<td>S-O strategies: pursue opportunities that fit your strenght</td>
<td>W-O strategies: overcome weaknesses to pursue opportunities</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> Threats </td>
<td>S-T strategies: use strength to reduce weaknesses</td>
<td>W-T strategies: come up with a plan to defend against threats exploiting weaknesses</td>
</tr>
</table>
