• SWOT is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to a project. It involves
specifying the objective of the project and identifying the internal
and external factors that are favourable and unfavourable to achieving
that objective. The strengths and weaknesses usually arise from within
an organization, and the opportunities and threats from external
sources. Once you have planned your project, turn you attention to
developing several goals that will enable you to be successful.
• Goals should be SMART –
o S - specific, significant, stretching
o M - measurable, meaningful, motivational
o A - agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented
o R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented
o T - time-based, timely, tangible, trackable
