Strengths (Internal, Positive)
What advantages do you have? What do you do well? What resources do you have? What do others see as your strengths?

Weaknesses (Internal, Negative)
What could you improve? What do you lack? What do others see as weaknesses? Where are you vulnerable?

Opportunities (External, Positive)
What trends could you take advantage of? What opportunities are open to you? How can you turn strengths into opportunities?

Threats (External, Negative)
What obstacles do you face? What is your competition doing? Are there changing requirements or standards? Could weaknesses threaten your position?

Consider multiple perspectives when available
Focus on factors relevant to the objective
