Describe necessary internal and external conditions in order to ensure that the activities will produce results

Assumptions are risks, which can jeopardize the success of the project

Are worded positively, i.e. they describe circumstances required to achieve certain objectives

Should be relevant and probable

If an assumption is not important or almost certain: Do not include

If an assumption is unlikely to occur: Killer assumption – abandon project

Risk Probability- 5 Level Scale

Level Probability of Occurrence Intervention Difficulty

1

Very Low

You would be surprised if this happened.

Your normal management processes should easily ensure an acceptable outcome

2

Low

Less likely to happen than not. Careful oversight of your normal management processes will probably bring about an acceptable outcome.

3

Medium

Just as likely to happen as not. Additional time and effort will be required to move forward an acceptable outcome.

4

High

More likely to happen than not. Your resources and authority are sufficient to permit only a minor effect on the outcome.

5

Very High

You would be surprised if this did not happen.

Your ability to affect the outcome is effectively zero.

Other Risks

• Residual risks – those that remain after avoidance, transfer of mitigation or other minor risks that have been accepted and addressed.

• Secondary Risks – those that arise as a direct result of implementing a risk response.
