High Level Risks – Constraints – Assumptions

Risks. An uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives.

Constraints: A factor that limits the team’s options, limits on time, schedule, resources, cost, scope.

Assumptions: A factor in the planning process that is considered to be true, real, or certain, without proof or demonstration. Factors classified as assumptions might in reality be hidden risks if they turn out to be not true or unreal.
