Name the decision, project, or process being analyzed in the scope field, then list internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats, one item per line. Keep each item specific and evidence-based rather than a vague generality, and stop once the team has captured the factors that actually matter to the decision.
| Quadrant | Source | Guiding Question |
|---|---|---|
| Strengths | Internal | What do we do well that supports this decision? |
| Weaknesses | Internal | What internal gap or limitation could hold this back? |
| Opportunities | External | What outside trend or condition could we take advantage of? |
| Threats | External | What outside factor could put this at risk? |

SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal to the organization or process; opportunities and threats come from the external environment.
Use SWOT early in project selection, charter development, or strategic planning to frame the internal and external factors that could help or hurt a proposed improvement before deeper root-cause analysis begins.
Three to six focused, specific items per quadrant is typically more useful than a long unfocused list. Prioritize the items that most affect the decision at hand.
