Project Assumptions

For Details - Read “Project Assumptions” Post.

 

Project assumptions.

·         Lists and describes the specifi c project assumptions associated with the project scope and the potential impact of those assumptions if they prove to be false.

·         Project teams frequently identify, document, and validate assumptions as part of their planning process.

·         Information on assumptions may be listed in the project scope statement or in a separate log.

 

General:

·         We assume that because the weather forecast is for a sunny day, and there is not a cloud in the sky, it will not rain so we will not take an umbrella with us to work.

·         We assume that the washing machine will not break down and overflow before we set a load of washing as we walk out the door.

·         We assume the bus will come on time when we go to the bus stop at a certain time.

 

 

Here is the list.

 

Below is the categorization of assumptions:

1.       Scope : There will be no scope change after the ‘Analysis’ phase is over

2.       Schedule: Client will not introduce any presssure to complete the project before scheduled time.

3.       Schedule: All the phases will be completed on time.

4.       Financing : Project funding will not be withdrawn

5.       Resources: Development resources will be available since Analysis Phase to the end of the project.

6.       Resources: BA resource will be allocated for the entire project life cycle.

7.      Resources: An onsite co-ordinator is available to clarify the issues

8.       Resources: Resources will not be pulled to do other projects in between

9.       Customers/Client: Client will provide the related information and answer to queries on time and thus not affecting project timelines

10.   Technologies : Client will not introduce ‘Technology Change’ in b/w of the project

11.   Technologies: There will always be technology support from Microsoft.

 

12.   Expectations:

13.   SponsorShip

14.   Other Assumptions: There will be no natural calamity delaying project timelines.
