Glossary
Projects and processes
Define a project, clarify requirements, plan small tests and learn from experience. Concepts that connect an idea with practical work.
- Projects and processesA/B testing
Learn how to plan an A/B test, assign variants fairly, choose meaningful measures and interpret uncertainty before declaring a new version the winner.
- Projects and processesChange management
Learn how to support a change in everyday work through clear roles, useful participation, practice and follow-up, with a realistic small-business example.
- Projects and processesFunctional specification
Understand what a functional specification should explain, how it relates to requirements and how clear scenarios help teams build and accept the solution.
- Projects and processesHypothesis
Learn to write a testable hypothesis, distinguish observations from explanations and choose evidence that can challenge an idea before you commit more work.
- Projects and processesKnowledge management
Learn how a small team can preserve useful know-how, find reliable guidance and keep it current through clear ownership, practical examples and everyday use.
- Projects and processesMinimum viable product
Understand how to define an MVP around a real customer task, choose what to leave out and use evidence from early use without claiming the idea is proven.
- Projects and processesPrioritisation
Learn to prioritise tasks and projects by purpose, consequences, effort and uncertainty, with a practical way to make tradeoffs visible and review decisions.
- Projects and processesProcess improvement
Learn how to identify process problems, investigate causes and test focused changes while protecting quality and the people doing the work.
- Projects and processesProcess management
Understand process management, describe repeated work, and clarify handovers, ownership and improvement across everyday business activities.
- Projects and processesProject management
Understand project management, clarify outcomes and responsibilities, and coordinate tasks, changes and handover in a manageable project.
- Projects and processesProof of concept
Learn to plan a proof of concept with a focused feasibility question, representative conditions and clear criteria, then turn the result into a grounded decision.
- Projects and processesPrototype
Learn how to choose a prototype, test a focused question and interpret observations without confusing a convincing model with a finished or proven product.
- Projects and processesRequirements analysis
Learn how to turn requests into clear requirements, resolve competing needs and define useful acceptance criteria before a project becomes expensive.
- Projects and processesRequirements specification
Create a useful requirements specification with clear scope, priorities, acceptance examples and open questions so suppliers can propose suitable solutions.
- Projects and processesRoadmap
Create a roadmap that connects goals with the next areas of work, explains dependencies and distinguishes a likely direction from a firm delivery commitment.
- Projects and processesStakeholder
Learn how to identify stakeholders, understand their needs and decision roles, and involve affected people without turning every project choice into a vote.
- Projects and processesStrategy
Understand strategy, distinguish it from goals and plans, and connect deliberate choices with the capabilities and constraints of your business.
- Projects and processesUsability
Understand usability through real tasks, clear feedback and useful observation. Learn how to find obstacles without confusing attractive design with easy use.
- Projects and processesUser experience
Explore user experience beyond visual design. Learn how expectations, interactions and follow-up shape the experience, and how to find practical improvements.
- Projects and processesValidation
Understand validation, choose evidence that matches your question and distinguish a useful finding from proof that a product or business idea will always work.
