Access to glossary of contracting and procurement terms from the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply added to PMWL
13 June 2017 – Dallas, USA and London, UK - A new resource has been added to the PM World Library (PMWL) in the Glossaries and Dictionaries section. The resource is titled "CIPS Procurement Glossary."
Program and project management professionals need to understand the meanings of many PPM terms and phrases. Knowledge of specialized acronyms and terms used for communications, contracting and procurement, finance and cost control, general management, leadership, quality, scheduling and time management, and other skills and functions can also be very useful. This is especially true when crossing borders or industries
The CIPS Procurement Glossary is available from the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) in the United Kingdom. The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply exists to establish and promote high standards of professional skill, ability and integrity among all those engaged in purchasing and supply chain management.
