Our final glossary block completes the alphabet, covering Q through Z. This episode dives into advanced but critical concepts such as quality management, velocity, work-in-progress limits, earned value metrics, and governance models. These are not just definitions — they are active tools you’ll see inside exam questions that mix agile and predictive approaches.

We’ll take extra time on earned value terms like planned value, actual cost, and cost performance index, since these often intimidate candidates. You’ll also hear how governance and metrics act as connecting threads across domains, showing up in scenario labs and toolkit episodes later in the series. With this glossary series wrapped, you’ll have a working fluency in PMI’s project language from A to Z, ready to deploy on exam day. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
