What is assumptions analysis used for?

  1. Defining the scope baseline

  2. Exploring the validity of assumptions to identify risks

  3. Estimating the project duration

  4. Allocating the budget across tasks

The correct answer is: Exploring the validity of assumptions to identify risks

Assumptions analysis is used for exploring the validity of assumptions to identify risks. This process helps to uncover any unrealistic or unsupported assumptions made during the project planning phase, which could potentially lead to risks if they are not addressed. This analysis is not used for defining the scope baseline (A), estimating the project duration (C), or allocating the budget across tasks (D). Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer for the purpose of assumptions analysis.
