Daniel,

A PMI-ISM is a word, definition or term that is specific the language of PMI and the PMI world. Often, these words are first created by PMI to describe a specific project management "thing" and then slowly they move into our everyday language on projects.

Here are some PMI-ISMs that I can think of:
- PMP
- Knowledge Area
- Process Groups
- Competing project constraints
- PMBOK Guide

These are all words that originated within PMI to describe some area of how PMI defines project management and they have become part of our PM language.

I believe that the word "PMI-ISM" itself was created by Rita Mulcahy to describe this multitude of words and terms that come out of PMI.

Dear PrepCast Colleagues,

I've bought the PrepCast yesterday. I'm currently watching at the E01.04 episode were Corneluis talks about PM-ism. Does any one can tell me the meaning of this acronym?.

I'm not english mother language and I did not find a related definition in the Internet.

Thanks in advance.
