# perform PESTEL analysis — Project Manager

As a Project Manager, 'performing PESTEL analysis' isn’t about writing a report that sits on a shelf; it's proactively identifying *risks and opportunities* impacting your project's success. Think of it as early warning system building. You'll routinely use it during initiation & planning – before kicking off a new project, or when significant changes occur mid-project. Tasks include brainstorming potential impacts (e.g., new regulations delaying permits, economic downturn affecting budget), researching relevant trends (using sources like government reports, industry news, competitor analysis), and documenting these in your risk register with associated mitigation/exploitation strategies. It's about *anticipating* what could derail or boost the project, not just reacting to it.
