Explanation

SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) examines a project from four defined perspectives: two internal (Strengths and Weaknesses) and two external (Opportunities and Threats). This broadens risk identification by capturing both internally generated risks (weaknesses that could become threats) and positive risk events (strengths and opportunities). Root cause analysis identifies the underlying cause of a problem; assumptions analysis challenges project assumptions; influence diagramming maps causal relationships - none of these use the four-perspective SWOT structure.
