First, SWOT analysis method

SWOT analysis method (also known as TOWS analysis method and DOWS matrix) is the situation analysis method. It is used to evaluate the overall value and risk of the project before the project starts, and is often used in enterprise strategy formulation and competitive product analysis report.

S(Strength) stands for advantage, W(Weakness) stands for disadvantage, O(Opportunity) stands for basis, and T(Threats) stands for threat.

second, ALUo analysis method

ALUo represents benefits, limitations, unique qualities and suggestions to overcome limitations.

third, SMART analysis method

the basic principle of smart analysis method is that the project must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-limited. To be more specific, the following questions need to be clarified before the project starts:

- What should the project do specifically;

- what criteria are used to measure the success of the project?

- whether the project is realizable;

- whether the project is related to the current purpose;

- the time node of the project.

projects that have not cleared these problems, or do not have these characteristics, can almost be judged as failures from the beginning. This is also the most valuable part of the SMART method. If a project is doomed to fail, the sooner it is discovered, the better. Even if the start of the project is almost certain, you can ask yourself these questions to see if you can give an answer.

iv. PESTLE analysis method

PESTLE analysis method, like SWOT analysis method, is almost one of the most commonly used project analysis methods. PESTLE represents the political, economic, social, technical, legal and environmental factors of the project. By investigating these external factors, we can identify the external variables that have a decisive role in the project, and make preparations before the project starts (if the environment is really bad, such as the product involves political risks or clear technical infeasibility issues, it can be directly killed).

v. CATWOE analysis method

comes from the software system methodology of Peter Checkland, which means that customers, participants, transformation process, world outlook, owners and environment of the project need to be considered.

Extended information:

This analysis method is more focused on the internal combination and strategy of the company, and it seems that it is not suitable for making such an analysis. Therefore, only the question is given in the table, and when you make an analysis, you can make a corresponding answer to this question, which is a complete CATWOE analysis.
