We found the Training Forms to be quite useful as check lists for the initial
setup of a project and as a personal reference and organizer for the project manager
setting up a new project. However, we were particularly captivated by the definitions
in a novel glossary of Common Business Jargon and the meanings of Common
Business Acronyms. In the former, we didn't know that "Baby Boomers" were
those born between1945 and 1964[32] and
that "Streamlining" like "Downsize" really means "cutting back on jobs and services
to save money" to say nothing of "Jump on the bandwagon" that we
referenced earlier.
The book has 194 pages including the Glossary that covers the terms used in
the book.

p170. Actually, the text reads "between 1945 and 2964" but we think that is an
obvious typo.
