I attended a meeting this morning from the hours of 10am to 12pm. Here is what I learnt from this meeting:
The favorite phrase of the person who chaired the meeting was "for want of a better term". Here are some examples of this term in action:
"We've squirted this content at them, for want of a better term"
"What steps can we actually 'electrify', for want of a better term"
"My vision, for want of a better term"
"What they'll be taught to do, for want of a better term"
Rows in a flow chart are called "swimming lanes"
If you want to say that something is going to happen in the future, this is referred to as "downstream"
If something is going to be completed by us this happens "in our world"
Here are my favorite phrases that I noted down during the meeting:
"I'm going to say something now and then park it"
"What that means back in our world"
"Phase two enhancement downstream"
"Let's park that for now and imagine that we are supplying this"
"At the very front end we've got to turn that tap off"
"That's the vision, any questions?"
Your comments regarding the above will be greatly appreciated.
