Gray Is A Color You Want To Avoid

In project management, back and white are your friends – murky gray is not. As a project manager, you want to deal with clear and verified information, not assumptions. When assumptions are made and not validated, mistakes get made, timelines get delayed, and projects fail.

As Lemony Snicket of A Series of Unfortunate Events states, assumptions are dangerous. Rarely based on fact, assumptions are based on personal perspective – not reality. Imagine how this can impact your ability to manage a team if you – and others – make assumptions in regard to something as integral as task completion.
