What is an Assumption Log?

Consider the assumption log to be a compilation of educated predictions or “what ifs” you make at the beginning of a project. It’s similar to writing down what you’re expecting will happen or be true when working on something. These assumptions might be concerning resources, schedules, or any other factors influencing your project. Keeping track of these informed estimates allows you to determine if things are going as planned or whether you need to make changes based on what really occurs. It’s like a reminder of the concepts you started with, so you can keep track of whether they’re working as planned.
