Moving Target

Danger Project Management Buzzword General

Requirements that change while you're aiming at them. The polite description of a stakeholder who keeps redefining done. Nothing demoralizes a team faster; nothing is documented less.

Heard in the wild

“The launch criteria are a moving target — third definition this month.”

Tone check: Danger

Freeze the definition in writing and make changes cost something visible. Otherwise you're funding indecision.
