If anything changes and these assumptions have not been met, there is a good possibility that the timeframes initially specified for those activities may have to change. An assumption is a hypothesis that cannot be predicted and over which one has no significant control.

Determine what information is currently available and what research will be necessary in order to create a generic problem definition. Research all functions of the project where information is currently unavailable.
