SWOT gives a better understanding of why to build a project.
Of course, I do agree a well planned effective strategic of action must be implement in for a successful outcome of any project, but IT project can be extremely demanding and elaborated; therefore, it requires special detail oriented organization methods to identify the team's strengths, opportunities, weakness and threats that could affect the final quality of the project performance and the client's satisfaction.
