Assessing the Proposal

Chris Chapman

Chapter 3 in Project Governance, 2012, pp 81-134 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Assessing a project proposal from a governance perspective should address all key assumptions made when developing the proposal. Key assumptions include both working assumptions and framing assumptions, be they explicit or implicit. Working assumptions are assumptions of convenience, which can and should be tested for robustness. Framing assumptions can only be tested using more general framing assumptions. The effectiveness of governance is limited by the framing assumptions it employs. The framework used by this chapter to address all key assumptions is an approach to project uncertainty management as outlined in Chapman and Ward (2011).
