As a PM, I can update assumption log

A project assumption is a factor in the planning process that is considered to be true, real, or certain, without proof or demonstration.

Project Managers (PM) and other managers (PMA, PMO, PfM, PgM), can update the project assumption log at LOGS > Assumption Log:

Set toggle [Hiding Closed] on to show the closed assumptions. Set it off [Hiding Closed] to hide the closed assumptions.

Click the “plus” icon [+] to add a new project assumption. Click the “downward” arrow to open an existing assumption. Assumptions can be deleted with the “delete” button.

Assumptions can be specified entering the following data:

• Title: The name assigned to the project assumption.
• Description: Assumption description.
• Concluding Comments: Final comments on how this assumption was managed are quite useful to other project managers in future similar projects.
• Status: Open assumptions must be reviewed by the project manager to watch if they are still valid. Closed assumptions do not affect planning.
