Assumption Log Template
This assumption log template enables you to identify and document the assumptions that have been made as part of your project plan and which phase it affects.
Each assumption must have an owner who is responsible for validating it by a specified date. The log is continually updated as the status of each assumption is altered and any associated actions completed.
When planning your project a vital part of your planning is to record all the assumptions that have been made as part of this process. By creating an assumption log as part of your projects documentation your stakeholders, sponsors, third parties and other project team members are aware of exactly what assumptions and statements have been made as part of the decision making process during the project planning phase.
A vital part of your assumption log is to assign an actual owner to each of your project assumption ids. That person is responsible for proving, along with any necessary assistance, that it is a valid assumption and that individual has to accomplish this by a specified date.
