Quick Glossary: Project Management

Every discipline has its own vocabulary, and project management is no exception.

Part of the process of successfully deploying project management in an organization is to standardize the terminology. That way, when one person talks about risks, scope, issues, requirements and other project management concerns, everyone else knows what they’re referring to.

This glossary from TechRepublic Premium contains common terms used in project management and can help start the standardization process in your organization.

    Featured text from the glossary:

    Waterfall methodology.

    A predictive life cycle methodology with sequential phases, which include analysis, design, development, testing and deployment. Predictive methodologies work well when the requirements and design are well-defined, as found in the construction or manufacturing processes. For software projects, an agile methodology is recommended, despite the abundance of waterfall methodologies found across industries.
