ASSUMPTION LOG CABLE LINE PROJECT The Assumption Log is a document which the project manager and team use to capture, document, and track assumptions throughout a project’s lifecycle. Assumptions are an important part of any project. Assumptions usually require some type of follow-up or validation to determine whether they will impact the project. Each assumption should have an owner that is part of the core project team responsible for following up and validating the assumption. The Assumption Log assigns each assumption an ID or reference number, a name and description of each assumption, responsible person, due date, status, closure date, and any actions which might be required as part of the follow-up or validation. The Assumption Log should be updated as items are closed or more information is obtained. The project team should also review the Assumption Log regularly to ensure all project team members are informed and any additional actions or information is captured. Standard Assumption Log Template: Assumption Log Project: ID Category Assumption Responsibility Due Date Date: Status Each assumption should have a corresponding ID number. This should list what knowledge area of the project the assumption impacts. Define the assumption in this column. Assumptions should be assigned to a team member to validate. This is the date the assumption should be validated by. This tracks the assumption validation and if it's open or closed. Actions Any actions associated with the assumption or validating the assumptions should be listed here.
