Effort: large Difficulty: high Effectiveness: long

No one person can cover all aspects of the environment. Working as a team also ensures that everyone involved develops a common understanding of the environment and the task at hand. It is particularly useful to consider the environment from the start of a project.

💡 Tip from practice: Update the Environmental Analysis regularly to respond to changes in the external environment.
