When applying reading the SWOT• Based on facts• Remember what level does it relate in

the LFM– A weakness at objective is more important

than a weakness at activity level • Remember who is affected by the

quality– Whole project, part of it?

main activities• Flesh-out the draft project document• Deliver & present the draft project
