Purpose

The Glossary is started early in the project to capture key terms and their meaning. As the project progresses, the Glossary becomes the source for preferred terms and definitions. Other artifacts should refer to the Glossary for definitions rather than having them scattered in multiple artifacts. This increases consistency and reduces redundant efforts.

Audience

All roles reference the Glossary during the project.
