|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When demand is still unclear, it measures interest in a feature before it is built. It separates real behavior from polite agreement and deliberately keeps build effort small. | In change initiatives, supporting and restraining forces sit at the table at the same time. Force Field Analysis makes these tensions explicit and shows where change can be pushed forward by strengthening or relieving. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
