Force subject evaluation is first-class performed in a small organization of approximately six to 8

human beings with the usage of flipchart paper or overhead transparencies so that everybody can

see what goes on. The first step is to agree on the region of an alternate to be discussed. This is

probably written as a preferred coverage purpose or objective. All the forces in aid of the

alternate are then indexed in a column to the left (riding the alternate forward), while all forces

operating towards the alternate are indexed in a column to the right (retaining it back)."

(Ramalingam, 2006)

Force subject evaluation is a fundamental device for root motive evaluation that allows you to

take movement as soon as the foundation motive has been identified. The approach is primarily

based totally on the belief that any state of affairs is the end result of forces for and toward the

present-day kingdom being in equilibrium.
