Common use of Situation Analysis Clause in Contracts

Situation Analysis. This section of the plan identifies the constraints and assumptions that exist for the program. Program assumptions are statements taken for granted or truth that define the scope of the program. Constraints are restrictions that affect the scope of the program. Both are circumstances and events that need to be managed for the program to be successful but are outside the total control of the program team. The assumptions and constraints provide a historical perspective when evaluating the program’s performance and determining justification for program-related decisions and direction.
