SWOT is a method used in evaluating the four facets of a business or career. SWOT stands for: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This type of analysis takes a critical review of a company’s organizational practices to determine its growth and success performances, but also individual project expectations. According to Harley-McClaskey (2015), the first step in this process is to review the organization’s internal and external data. The first facet of SWOT is strength, which is the accolades of an organization that are done well. Next is weaknesses or those things that hinder organizations or projects performance. Followed by opportunities, which reflect newly presented ideas persuading progress and other variables leading to successful gains. Finally, is threats, or risks to persons or the organization per mentioned in Shewan (2020).
