Hi,

I saw the term Horse Blanket in the Project Management Institute’s Practice Standard for Scheduling. The term was undefined in the book’s glossary.

Thanks & Regards,
MUHAMMAD

    Dear Muhammad,

    I searched the standards; no horse and no blanket words are mentioned within the document.

    Which page you did you find them at?

    With kind regards,

    SAmer

    I suspect that you are referring to what we call a "Navajo Blanket" - Horse Blanket is probably more politically correct these days.

    It’s a cross functional chart - for example a RACI chart or a WBS/OBS (Cost code) table.

    Dear M.

    You are correct, I found the reference in the Figure you mentioned (Fig 2.1, page 6). The filter option does not search the figures apparantly.

    I also did an internet search and found the term;
    http://www.doubletongued.org/index.php/dictionary/horse_blanket/.

    For current practice, you do not have to worry about this term, because it is not used.

    With kind regards,

    Samer
