PMI Lexicon Of Project Management Terms (ver 3.1) and Agile Alliance Lexicon are very important for even discussion through community.
I am looking forward to using/improving/updating my PMI Lexicon Of Project Management Terms and trying to look for the Agile Alliance Lexicon which I do not have it yet.

Hi Mayte,
I am trying to look for Agile Lexicon?
for example I came a cross with the terminology of " around-robin fashion" or "Pig" or "Spike"
I do not know what are the meaning of such terminologies in Agility.

I tried to open the

But in vain.

To answer those specifics:

"Round-robin" refers to a practice of having everyone involved. Actual practice varies. For example, you might have a team of developers work on certain stories, then switch so that everyone is involved on each story. (That's a weird example, sorry.)

A "Pig" is someone committed to project success. It comes from a story of a chicken who wanted to start a restaurant with a pig, which would serve ham and eggs. The pig declines, saying "you would only be involved, but I would be committed."

A "Spike" is a story in the backlog that is dedicated to research.

Mansour -

The Agile Practice Guide which PMI & the Agile Alliance co-published last Fall has a glossary of terms from pages 150-155.

Hooray for the Agile Practice Guide. I'm not sure about that link you provided Mansour, but if you want the Agile Alliance glossary, then visit this link:
