In this topic we explore what trends in the wider environment will influence the system you design within this course. Societal, environmental and political factors can have a large influence upon the actions we are able to take. By taking some time to explore these aspects we can create a system that is better prepared to fit within these larger socio-enviro-political forces.
Within the environmental analysis topic you will explore how to identify trends within the environment you wish to develop your system, how to identify competition and identify opportunities.
