 Communication is the lifeblood of projects. Typically, project managers rely more on formal communication. However, successful project managers know how to tap into informal communication skills to get things done.
FULL STORY
I am relatively new to formal project management, and I get confused over a few of the project management terms. Am I the only one?
- Project managers must be certified so that they know all terms in the industry, regardless of when they were trained.
- There are several terms that are confusing to many project managers and they may be used
incorrectly within your organization. Learn the correct meanings.
- Ask five other project managers for a definition of any term you do not understand and merge the answers for your own use.
- Project management terms may be used interchangeably, as long as the person you are speaking to at the moment understands.
