The concept that results shapes project activities beginning with an Idea, where high-level objectives may be stated as results, and project scenarios may be specified as sequences of these in a Project, to move into Operations, where goals are instantiated, elaborated, scheduled, and executed, and finally, Results assessed.

There is no “The start date just happened”. There is always conversations, ideas, and
hall-way discussions occurring considerably before any “Project Start Date”.
You will not know of these in most cases. There will be assumptions made then, by
some of the players involved, that you will not know about.

Those assumptions will have expectations associated, from the Players Involved at those points in time.
The assumptions and expectations will not typically be in the project documentation.
These are the hidden “risks” of most projects

Work the basics of the not-so-secret formula for project success:1. Engage Executive Sponsors.
2. Ensure the project is aligned to organizational strategy.
3. Maintain control over scope creep.
4. Value project management within the organization. This include an internal PMO structure – addressing into project staff and external resources hired.

Work with the Concept Development and the Business Case resources to ask them to document any and all assumptions and expectations as a process step.
Work with the Stakeholders during the early stages of the project to document and all assumptions and expectations as a process step.
During Status Meetings, constantly reaffirm the expected Results and Assumptions of the project.
