When a word means ten things, it binds no one

Without shared definitions, each department uses the same words in its own sense: promises diverge by channel, a distributor over-promises, and a poorly controlled claim becomes a legal risk.

The glossary gathers the words that cause confusion, keeps only those that deserve an entry, then settles a single sourced reference definition for each. You follow the method step by step — through to the costed diagnosis that measures what the glossary really covers.

This guide does not only teach you to define words. It teaches you to lift contradictions — and to turn a battle of opinions into the application of a clear reference.

The technique, played out on a real case

Edelw'ice makes artisanal ice cream in French-speaking Switzerland. It is a fictional company, and that is deliberate: the same company runs through every volume of the collection, with its teams, its constraints and its disagreements. You meet it again from one book to the next, so you never have to relearn the setting — only the technique. Who is Edelw'ice

This volume's case

The same word used in ten senses depending on who is speaking, and misunderstandings paid for in wrong orders. The volume lists the risky terms, settles one definition per term, and measures what remains unclear.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know the BABOK to use it?

No. The volume is written for someone who has to run Monday's session, not to prepare for a certification. The reference guide is cited at the end of each chapter, for those who want it.

How do I receive the file?

By e-mail, within a minute of payment, in the language chosen on this page. The link stays valid: you can download it again later from the same e-mail.

Is the German edition a translation?

No. It is adapted to the Requirements Engineering framework and vocabulary actually used by German-speaking practitioners.

Can I print it, or share it with my team?

Printing for your own use is intended. To equip several people, in several languages, there is a company plan.
