Assumptions improve project and product quality

Abstract

The effect of poor assumptions on project quality is usually negative. Therefore, it is critical to implement 'good assumption management'. A simple method to capture and apply assumptions to the Project Management Planning of any project is described in this article. Good assumption planning gives the project team and senior staff a preview to potential project problems. Good assumption management prevents poor assumptions from damaging your project and product quality. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
