CMMI

Capabilities Misplaced Missing or Inadequate. Many government managers mistakenly believe that this is an acronym for Capabilities Maturity Model Integeration. However, examination of actual performance in the wild points towards the, generally accepted, 'missing and inadequate' definition.

(1) The project failed. This is odd. Even though the project manager provided many detailed WBS's he was CMMI.

(2) He Sucks! Fire that CMMI MBA.

WBS

Work-like Bullshit. Many project management professionals mistakenly believe that this is an acronym for Work Breakdown Structure. However, the WBS actually is used only to simulate work and cover time spent persuing other activites.

(1) The Project Manager must have been busy this week, he produced a WBS for each deliverable.

(2) I can't get started on my work because my boss hasn't given me the WBS for my part.
