What's New in Glossary Version 4.2

In version 3 we added terms commonly used in information technology and software projects. We also added terms and definitions associated with program management. For these we adopted US spelling to improve the grouping of similar terms. In version 4.0 we improved the interface and added definitions that we had encountered over the previous couple of years, including those relating to the emerging field of portfolio management.

In this version 4.2 we've added more new terms and definitions or new interpretations of existing terms. At the same time we have deleted some definitions that we considered obsolete or substantial duplications. This brings the total number of entries to over 6000, representing over 4000 discrete terms from over 150 sources.

Feedback on the entries or comments on the Glossary are always appreciated. You can contact the Editor by email at max_wideman@sfu.ca
