Root cause analysis starts from an already-identified risk or problem and traces backward to find its underlying cause; it does not examine the project from four forward-looking strategic perspectives.

SWOT analysis is a structured technique that evaluates the project across four defined perspectives: internal Strengths and Weaknesses, and external Opportunities and Threats. The PMBOK Guide specifically highlights that SWOT broadens the scope of identified risks by ensuring internally generated risks (from strengths and weaknesses) are captured alongside externally driven risks.

Influence diagramming represents causal relationships and dependencies between project variables graphically; it does not use four defined strategic viewpoints to generate risk identification.

Assumptions analysis tests the validity and stability of planning assumptions to expose risk from faulty assumptions; it is not a four-perspective strategic framework.
