Project Management Fact Sheet:
Language Matters
Version 1.0 (May 2005)
"There is a number of language conventions used in the project business planning process. Using conventions assist in the precise and accurate expression of objectives, outcomes, outputs etc and make it easier to differentiate between project terms.
The conventions do not have to be followed and there are other, equally valid, ways to express a concept. However, using a common language allows all people involved in projects to understand each other more clearly."
