CREST Project- SWOT Analysis

by | May 6, 2020 | CREST Project, Science | 0 comments

We are getting ready to start a research project in Science called the CREST Project. To prepare for it, we have been brainstorming ideas, researching new scientific discoveries, and also analysing our strengths and weaknesses. In order to help organise this analysis, ?we used a SWOT analysis. Here is mine below:

 

Strengths

  • Leadership and self-management- I think I will be able to manage myself and complete all the parts of the project adequately, as well as keep myself organised during the time.
  • Time-management- I am able to organise my schedule well, and prioritise my work so that I finish it on time.
 Weaknesses

  • Time management- I have a tendency to procrastinate work, and this leads to me rushing things a bit at the end. 
  • Creativity/Problem-Solving- I struggle with coming up with original ideas and solutions, so I will need to work on this to find a good project idea 
Opportunities

  • Goal-setting- by setting goals every so often and having a clear direction, I think I will be able to achieve more and finish my project in time.
 Threats

  • Having other work from classes that takes priority to this. This is a long project, and it might be easy to procrastinate, so I need to make sure I work on my time management to prevent this from affecting my work.

 

From this, I decided on two goals to focus on during this project:

 

  1. To set goals and deadlines in order to help reduce my procrastination and manage my time properly. This would include taking stock of my work every week or weekend and setting small deadlines to get parts of the project done by.
  2. To work on finding/coming up with creative ideas and solutions to problems for my project. This may include researching methods to come up with and narrow down ideas, as well as actively looking for inspiration for these ideas.

 

I’m hoping that these goals will help me achieve success and hold myself accountable during this project. Until then, I’m looking forward to researching and starting the project!
