My recommendation is to go get some inspiration from industry terms to seed your business glossary. When you adopt that technique the conversation immediately becomes if that definition fits your business or if it needs to be modified. If you do start looking at third party sources, consider if you want to keep your organization\u2019s specific terms along side industry standard ones or replace the industry standard ones entirely.<\/p>\n<h4>You can extend your glossary<\/h4>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen organizations also recording policies, report names, even to record the in-house names of the tools that they use. If you choose to extend your glossary to record those, I recommend having another attribute that stores the type of term: &#8220;report&#8221;, &#8220;policy&#8221;, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1956","tva_lesson","type-tva_lesson","status-publish","hentry","tva_courses-business-glossary","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>LightsOnData<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lightsondata.com\/course\/common-pitfalls-recommendations\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Common Pitfalls &amp;
