A Glossary that is Comparative and Linked
Do you have project communication problems?
On a project you may think you all speak the same language, but that
may not be true. Many familiar terms mean very different things to
different people. Successful project management depends on clear
communication and all participants must share a common
understanding of the terminology they use if problems are to be
avoided. Yet the diverse roots of project management have led to
many different "dialects". Consequently, project communications can
be foggy at best and down right dangerous at worst if people use the
same term to convey different meanings. In practice every project, or
certainly every program, should have its own reference glossary, but
unfortunately this is not always the case.
Our Vision: Solving the Communication Problem
At a very modest cost, a copy of this Glossary on the PC of every
project management practitioner in the world, and a copy in the study
material of every project management student!
Work-in-Progress
This Glossary is a "work-in-progress" with the objective of bringing
more order and better understanding to our world of project
management. In many cases we provide not just one meaning but
several from many authoritative sources. This illustrates the range of
opinion in even the most common terms. Moreover, most project
management terms depend on other terms for clarity and in a paper-
based glossary you have to do a lot of page turning to get a
reasonable understanding.
In this Glossary, HTML allows us to provide liberal hyperlinks that take
you to associated terms with just one click. Always review these links
and any alternatives because they often provide significant insight into
the intended meaning. Further, terms often have different meanings in
different contexts or different areas of project management
application. Some definitions are even contradictory!
We hope the Glossary will help you assemble an appropriate project

International Recognition in 1999
In June, 1999, under the auspices of NASA, a group of thirty three
distinguished project management researchers and experts
representing fourteen countries on five continents met in Norfolk,
Virginia. Their purpose was to seek some world-wide unanimity on the
basic concepts reasonably claimed to form the global body of project
management knowledge.
Much progress was made during the intensive deliberations. In
particular, the need for a common understanding of an array of
project management terminology was recognized. Following
discussion, the group decided that the Wideman Comparative Glossary
of Common Project Management Terms was the best source of
definitions for their purpose. Moreover, participants in the conference
agreed to contribute additional definitions and identifed several
hundred more that should be added. These included many references
to program and programme management.
As a direct result of the conference, both through the further
contributions and requested additions, the number of entries in the
Glossary was increased from the previouis 2200 to over 4500.
However, not all of the requested additions could be sourced reliably.
In those cases, we proposed definitions based on Webster or other
related program/project texts.
Since that time the Glossary has been further updated.
