Qn3: Identifying Project Assumptions and Constraints
Assumptions and constraints show up frequently on our projects. Successful project managers and business analysts keep an eye out for the assumptions and constraints present on their projects. After all, they can impact your project across a number of variables, including your project requirements and your resulting solution. Giving the risks that assumptions and constraints can add to your project, I think it’s worth taking a closer look at what they are and how we should identify and manage them.
Experienced project
managers look for three elements as they and the team define, analyze, and
document the assumptions and constraints on their project: assumptions,
business constraints and technical constraints. Let’s have a closer look
at each of these elements.
Identifying Project
Assumptions
Assumptions are factors
that we believe to be true, although these factors are not confirmed to be
true. Assumptions add risk to a project since it is possible that they will
turn out to be false. Assumptions can impact any part of your project
life cycle and resulting solution implementation, so it is important
to document and analyze them.
Identifying Business
Constraints
Business constraints
limit the solution based upon the current organizational state.
They usually focus on the available time, money and resources for a
project. Common business constraints include budget and time restrictions,
resource limitations, and resource skill limitations. For example, your
project’s business case may contain assumptions about realizing the business
benefits for your project. Any assumptions about a specific business
benefit should be documented and linked to the requirements that will deliver
those benefits. This may introduce additional risk into the premises contained
in the business case, since it is possible that the assumptions you are
assuming to be true may not be true in the end.
