What are Assumptions?
An assumption is a factor that is considered to be true, real, or certain without confirmation. Planning a project or activity may involve making a few assumptions. Any assumptions should later be investigated to confirm they are correct and adjustments made.
Assumptions Status
This section is where you can track your project or activity assumptions.
By using the dropdown field, you can select the most appropriate overall RAG status for the assumptions and provide any associated commentary. This information can be updated in real-time.
Adding Assumptions
Assumptions can be added to the project table via Add.
Assumption information can be entered using the simple form containing dropdowns, text, date and user picker fields.
Anyone added as an Owner will receive a Verto notification and can set-up their own reminders for completion. They will also see these records in their personal Feed.
Updating Assumptions
Click on Edit against the individual assumption to amend the information in the form.
The Updates area at the bottom of the form can also be used to record regular progress updates. Click Actions > Add to record a new update.
