Content Management Glossary

While acronyms and technical terms seem to abound in most IT projects, content management is an area that seems particularly susceptible to confusion.  Words like content, management, user, workflow and the like can mean different things to various members of your project team – and the confusion only grows when different vendors, consultants, and analysts are thrown into the mix.  A lack of clarity can lead to different expectations on the part of team members or management as to the scope of a content management project or how individual features will perform.

To keep your team on the same page, we recommend a project glossary.  Use it to help define project requirements, key process steps, and roles.  Here is a glossary that defines commonly used content management terms.  The glossary can be used as a starting point for developing one that includes your own organization’s terminology, processes, and definitions.
