Planning/Scheduling Dictionary

Hi Sen,

I like your idea.

Maybe we can have a thread for planning/scheduling dictionary. All PP members can contribute to the development of the dictionary. PP Admin can sort out the entry in alphabetical order.

Maybe no need to place the name of the contributor since the word is not originally from the contributor. In some cases, maybe if the planning word is really an invention or originally comes from the contributor then, only then at the same time maybe, we can post the name of the contributor.

As a start, project duration - the length of time the to start and finish the project, geneerally in calendar days.

Cheers,

charlie

agree with your suggestion..

A good idea. I accept it.

I hope PP admin can response....

Good idea.

Should be implemented to facilitate the members

These are good ideas. Sopme of the guys here are already working on facilitating this kind of issue.

Why dont some of us PPers start collecting these terms and explanations together so that we can populate the dictionary accordingly once it is available.

Great idea!

PP Admin.

PP Admin:

Thanks for acknowledgement of this issue

Hi, guys and PP Admin. Thanks for your support on this suggested new feature in PP.

As suggested, this feature should be like the “Prod-rate” where members can contribute to post words, abbreviations or terms used in Planning/Scheduling and they can post also the corresponding definition, meaning, description or link to topics in PP thread discussions. If the contributor doesn’t know the meaning, he can still post so that other members can provide the definition or links.

Cheers!!

Mario

Good interpret ion of Planning/ Scheduling terms of your recommendation web site.

May be effectively used

Mario,

You picked a good one there, I use it quite a bit, there are a couple of others I have found useful as well,

Hi PP peers,

I think its better to start with words used in PP and to continue to populate the dictionary meaningful to PP.

I see no point in importing planning words not relevance to PP.

Cheers,

Charlie

Charlie,

I understand what you are getting at, but until the PP Dictionary tool is in place, why not make use of what is already available? PP members could also use these sources as a prompt for terms which they want included in the PP Dictionary.

I think anybody who uses an abbreviation or other terminology they have thought up, should explain themselves concisely and if such terminology is accepted shall be placed in the the dictionary, unless preceded by previous terminolgy. ie ITAS is a company in Italy, not I think Australia stinks, which in normal terms is correct, but ITAS has the first choice on the registered name.

The PEO has published an on-line Glossary of Terms for planners and schedulers. This has been created specifically for what we do – it deliberately doesn’t cover general PM terms.

This can be found at PEO Glossary of Terms
