The project management domain is full of evolving terminology and buzzwords. Just as we get comfortable with the latest acronyms, new vernacular emerges. One writer called on a colleague to learn more about being a Green PM and pursuing sustainability in project management.
How green should your PM practices be? Applying green practices and ideas to the management of projects is relatively new to the project management community.

To realize the full benefits of turning green, an enterprise must take a disciplined and systematic approach to implementing green standards.

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." - Mark Twain |
