What is a Force Field Analysis?: A Force Field Analysis is a decision-making tool developed by Kurt Lewin. It helps you visualize the forces driving a change versus the forces resisting it. By rating each force's strength, you can see whether the overall balance favors the change or not.
When should I use a Force Field Analysis?: Use it when you need to decide whether to proceed with a change, such as adopting a new process, restructuring a team, or launching a new initiative. It is especially useful in change management, strategic planning, and team decision-making.
How is this different from a Pro/Con list?: A Pro/Con list just counts items. A Force Field Analysis adds strength ratings (1-5) to each force and shows a visual balance indicator. This quantification reveals whether a few strong forces outweigh many weak ones, something a simple list cannot show.
Is my data stored on a server?: No. All data stays in your browser (localStorage) and is never sent to any server. Your analysis is private by default.

List pros and cons, add weights, and let the scores reveal your best choice. The fastest way to think through any decision.
