SECTIONSAssumptions Overview
In PSA, an assumption is a condition or statement that is believed to be true for the project. These assumptions are often related to risks, issues, actions, decisions, or dependencies.
Each assumption includes the following key details:
- Name
- Description
- Owner
- Status
Assumptions are assessed based on their potential impact, likelihood, and severity. They are linked to relevant project components, such as milestones, opportunities, or tasks, and are monitored through a validation plan to ensure their accuracy.
Effective management of assumptions allows for early identification of potential risks or issues, leading to more informed project planning. You can create an assumption from the following:
- Assumptions tab
- Related tab on the project record
- RAID actions in the Actions panel
For more information, see Creating an Assumption from the Assumptions Taband Creating an Assumption from the Project Record Page.
