<\/p>\n

There are several good glossaries that define and standardize key project management terms, including versions from the PMI<\/a>, APM<\/a>, CIO.com<\/a>, and many others. However, like language itself, lexicons are dynamic and organic \u2013 which means that they shift over time to capture new thinking, and just as importantly, shed expired notions.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, below we highlight 5 key project management terms<\/strong> that have evolved in the new world of work:<\/p>\n

1. Collaboration<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"EvolvingCollaboration is no longer simply about allowing people to connect with each other \u2013 because this invariable leads to \u201ccollaboration for the sake of collaboration;\u201d which is chaotic rather than clarifying.<\/p>\n

In the new world of work, collaboration is defined as the ability to access focused, relevant and in-context communication<\/a> supported by rich discussion groups at every level \u2013 including files, tasks and projects \u2013 ultimately allowing teams to usher work forward through its journey towards successful completion.<\/p>\n

2. High-Performance Teams<\/span><\/h5>\n

High-performance are no longer comprised of select enterprise \u201cAll-Stars\u201d who are assigned to the most important, profitable or prestigious projects.<\/p>\n

In the new world of work, all <\/em>teams must be high-performance teams, and comprised of resources with the right mix of skills, experience and knowledge. What\u2019s more, high-performance teams<\/a> are rapidly assembled, oriented and put in position to achieve specific business objectives \u2013 and just as efficiently disassembled and re-deployed when a project or phase is complete.<\/p>\n

3. Resource Utilization<\/span><\/h5>\n

Resource utilization is no longer just about seeing which resources are deployed on what projects \u2013 because that is only looking at the surface, and typically leads to under or over-utilization; and hence missed deadlines, cost overruns, unfulfilled business objectives, and unhappy sponsors and customers.<\/p>\n

In the new world of work, resource utilization<\/a> is strategic rather than just logistic, and as such involves leveraging a comprehensive set of resource-related metrics and KPIs to support the reporting and decision-making needs of key roles within the organization (e.g. project managers, resource\/functional managers, employees, contractors, etc.). Knowing who is where is only part the puzzle. Today\u2019s enterprises also need to know why, why not, for how long, and for how much.<\/p>\n

4. Transparency<\/span><\/h5>\n

In practice, transparency has traditionally and incorrectly been perceived as synonymous with visibility; which is why transparency in a meaningful sense often doesn\u2019t exist \u2014 and why many enterprises have not yet reaped the rewards.<\/p>\n

In the future of work, transparency<\/a> (finally!) comes to life by enabling team members to see beyond their specific input and role, so they can easily grasp how their important contribution fits into the bigger picture \u2013 ultimately leading to more inspired effort, more effective teamwork. At the same time and through the same processes, transparency enables enterprises to take a much more pragmatic and profitable \u201csense and respond\u201d approach to work vs. an outdated, and frankly counter-productive \u201ccommand and control\u201d approach.<\/p>\n

5. Visibility<\/span><\/h5>\n

Historically, visibility was fundamentally about access to information \u2013 which is no longer valid, because there is simply too much information<\/em> available.<\/p>\n

In the new world of work, visibility<\/a> is a verb instead of a noun because it actively adds value by delivering expanded and holistic \u201c360 degree\u201d insight throughout projects and across portfolios. As a result, instead of limited static snapshots of project data, project managers and teams access accurate, real-time and in-context information that is actionable across all lines of business departments, customers and partners.<\/p>\n
