PPI Releases Glossary of Key Terms

20 December 2016

PPI’s mission is to promote awareness and adoption of Project Production Management (PPM) practices, and advance the frontier of knowledge in industries where delivery of major capital projects is considered a significant component of business.

The Project Production Institute is pleased to present the inaugural Glossary of Project Production Management (PPM). An emerging subject such as Project Production Management needs an authoritative reference glossary that includes a broad range of defined terms from a variety of credible sources. The PPM Glossary provides both a basic introduction to the subject as well as more advanced terms regarding theory and its application.

It is our intention that the Glossary becomes a standard reference for all matters regarding PPM, from the perspective of any reader. The Glossary is available on the PPI website and can be downloaded from the PPI Journal.
