In our everyday lives, we are constantly operating under assumptions. We assume our alarm will go off as scheduled and we’ll wake up on time. We assume our cars will start each morning and we’ll get to work without a hassle. And, as PMs, we make assumptions in project management, too. The fact of the matter is that assumptions can be proven wrong at any time, effectively throwing a wrench in our plans.
