Wideman Comparative Glossary of
Project Management Terms v4.2

Do You Have 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 downright dangerous at worst if people use the same term to convey different meanings.

Our Vision: Solving the Communication Problem

A copy of this Glossary should be on the PC of every project management practitioner and in the study material of every project management student!

Benefits of a Glossary that is Comparative and Linked

Comparative - This objective of the Glossary is to bring more order and better understanding to our world of project management. In many cases the Glossary provides not just one meaning but several from many authoritative sources. This illustrates the range of opinion in even the most common terms. Max Wideman has marked his recommendation with a check mark but you may have different ideas as well. The Glossary will help you assemble an appropriate project reference document for your projects.

Linked - 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. A fully-linked glossary allows you to view associated terms with just one click. Reviewing these links and any alternatives can often provide significant insight into the intended meaning of the word.

The Glossary is available in three formats:

  • One very large non-hyperlinked html document that you can view in a browser

  • One fully-hyperlinked PDF file (618 pages)

  • A folder containing a set of 125+ fully-hyperlinked webpages. Ideal for company Intranets.
