SWOT analysis

see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis

Introduction

Small and brief introduction about the document.

Internal

This is to be faced as a "audit" to Fedora Project. Here we are going to perform a self assessment of Fedora's strength's and weaknesses. The elements to be present all need to be controllable by the management. I would propose the following line for Fedora (5M method):
  • Men
  • Means
  • Method's
  • Measurables
  • Machines
I would like to place an emphasis on the following:
  • Quality and Management
  • Performance / Performance improvements
  • Technology

Strength's

Weaknesses

External

Here should like the Opportunities and Threats that Fedora faces in the market. Keep in mind that many of this topics are uncontrollable by Fedora's management. Here we should list the opportunities and threats that our "product" faces. I would once more maybe suggest the STEEP methodology:

  • Socio-cultural factors
  • Technological factors (barriers)
  • Economic factors
  • Environmental factors
  • Political factors (ie. cryptographic export laws).

Opportunities

Threats

SWOT Matrix

Conclusion

Final review and conclusion goes here. To be defined how to handle this. For later review through the Marketing list.
