Time: 13.15-16.00
Location: ALC Seminarieparken

Teachers: Anna Hedlund & Fredrika Larsson

In this workshop, we continue to define the problem that your project is based on and formulate a clear project idea. The workshop consists of two parts:

(1) Feedback on submission after Workshop 1

In the first part, each group gives feedback to another group on their assignment (available under “Discussions”). We give feedback according to the following schedule (e.g. Group 1 gives feedback on Group 2, and vice versa):

Group 1 & 4

Group 2 & 5

Group 3 & 6

(2) Work with Submission 2

In the second part of the workshop, each group continue to analyze and define their project idea. Start by taking notes of the comments you have received and incorporating them into your text. Then start from the following questions to further develop your project plan:

Purpose and intended effect

What does the problem/need/opportunity look like that the project will solve?
What are the three main effects and causes of the problem?
Why should we/our organization do something about this and why right now?

Create a picture of the project's results

What concrete results are to be achieved?
Who is affected by the results and to whom are they relevant?
What approximate frameworks for time and costs do you have in mind?

Create a picture of the project work

How does your level of ambition match the resource and time constraints that exist?
What activities could you carry out?
What are the biggest risks that the project could fail?
When you have worked through the questions, you must use two project management tools to further develop the project plan: (A) Stakeholder analysis; and (B) SWOT analysis.

(A) Stakeholder Analysis

A stakeholder analysis is central to the planning phase of a project. In practice, it involves identifying all relevant stakeholders (actors) who in one way or another affect or are affected by the project and describe in what way they need to be involved in it. A good stakeholder analysis makes it possible for the project manager to schedule and lead activities at a later stage to meet the wishes and needs of the stakeholders.

Do a stakeholder analysis where you identify the stakeholders who are relevant in your project according to the model below. Describe what role the stakeholders have in the project and specify what considerations you may need to take in order to satisfy their needs and interests. You can find great examples online, here is one guide that might be helpful: Stakeholder analysis

Stakeholders	Contributions	Expectations on project	Stakeholders and risk-taking	Power and influence	Strategy for participation
Name	Description	Description	Small, middle-range, large	Small, middle-range, large	Description
…	…	…	…	…	…

(B) SWOT analysis

Finally, you must use a commonly used tool to do a strategy analysis of the project idea: a so-called SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and you do it by filling in the template below. Here's a guide to SWOT-analysis that might be helpful: Funds for NGOs SWOT analysis

Submission

The workshop must result in a written submission that a person appointed by the group uploads under "Discussions" on Canvas no later than 4 April, Submission: After workshop 2 at 6 p.m. Write the group's number in the file name.

Build on and embroider the text from Workshop 1 and submit a total of 2–4 pages + your stakeholder and SWOT analysis (max. 1 page each).

Good luck with your project ideas!
