mmmh, I find the process ok, and that may be part of the PMBOK, but I really disagree with creating a specific document for it. for me, an assumption that you're not sure of is a risk. so it will be in the risk register. (a proof of that is that the fields you mention are exactly the ones appearing in a risk register)
I agree. I am not answering the question 'should you use an assumptions log?'My preference is to use a RAID log to store Risks, Issues, Assumptions, and Dependencies. But, whilst every assumption carries the risk that it is incorrect, the fundamental action for an assumption is always the same: to test it and either confirm or reject it. So, a log of assumptions - whether free-standing or part of a RAID log - is a good idea.

A simple assumptions log would be a table with some of the following fields:
- unique ID or reference number
- a description of the assumption
- the aspects of the project it impacts upon
- the implications of error (perhaps as an impact score)
- the person responsible for reviewing it
- a due date for when it needs to be validated/disproved
- a current status (maybe a simple set of status like (unknown, unlikely, likely, confirmed) and
- the date of the last update
Mohamed. I have created an Assumptions Log template.

I am looking for a real example of assumption log on an project, but I haven't seen.
You'll find an Assumptions Log template in our Project Management Templates Kit: onlinepmcourses.com/project-management-tools/project-management-template-kit/
It's hard to show real examples of completed logs because of confidentiality.
Sorry I had to dislike since you had no dislikes. Nobody is perfect and this is not an assumption
You're entitled to your opinion - why not click the dislike again.
Remember when you do this - if you aren't giving a fair assessment of your perception, then you are misleading UA-cam and other viewers - and so potentially harming a creator wantonly. Is that the person you want to be? If you think the video is poor, give it a dislike. Otherwise, I'd respectfully suggest you either give it a like or do nothing.
