What's New in Glossary Version 5.0
In this version 5.0 we've added over 500 entries including over one hundred terms that are specific to the separate discipline of project portfolio management. At the same time we've conducted a thorough review to remove definitions that we considered obsolete or substantial duplications. This brings the net total of entries close to 6,500, the number of discrete terms to 4,250, and the number of references to 180.
As before, where multiple definitions are provided for a given term, the intent is to show either different interpretations, or similar interpretations but with additional nuances. In this case, our "Editor's Choice" is generally based on our belief of the most common understanding that is expressed in the simplest of wording.
However, readers are well advised to peruse all remaining definitions under the same heading, and follow the links where necessary, to obtain a fuller understanding and insight into the intent and diversity of the term in question.
As always, feedback on the entries or comments on this latest Glossary
will be much appreciated. You can contact the Editor by Email at max_wideman(AT)sfu.ca
Note regarding the PMBOK® Guide – Fourth Edition
(2008) Glossary
We have reviewed the Project Management Institute's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) - Fourth Edition and satisfied ourselves that all of the terms listed there are covered in our Glossary by definitions with similar intent. However, exact wordings have not been included because of the Institute's copyright restrictions. The similarities referred to have not influenced our selection of Editor's Choice.
