Report of the Regional Workshop - Escap

Annex II: Group activity three
He suggested to group two, that as with group one, they should avoid
the use of generic words, in this case all, “all government officials are trained”.
Mr. Tan also suggested that the group’s understanding of assumption
was actually a fear of what might happen not an assumption. He said an assumption
should be a pre-condition, something that is outside of the project
team’s control, which could prevent the project from achieving its objective.
Some assumptions listed by the group e.g., hardware and software, were also
redundant assumptions.
