Note 1 (See Ref** col. above): These reference letters are used in the Glossaries to show when the term appears in related Glossaries. This indicates the extent of application of the term in question.
Note 2: The GoVernance collection of terms is too small to be processed as a separate Glossary, hence its incorporation with the PortFolio Glossary. Of course, it may grow into a separate glossary in the future. Note 3: For a detailed explanation of our research and why we have chosen the Project Domain divisions and Industry/Product Sector groupings shown, please refer to the following papers:
1. What's new in Glossary v6.1 published June 2017, and
2. The Challenge for the Wideman Glossary 6.1 Update published July 2017. To purchase any of the Glossary sets, please go to the Order Form.
Thank you for considering these Glossaries for use on your projects. We hope that you enjoy and benefit from their use.
