Andy Murray, in the context of editing the PRINCE2 V7 edition of the PRINCE2 guidance, emphasizes the importance of clarity and simplicity in terminology. Their approach champions plain English, leaning on dictionary definitions as the primary source for terms. If elaboration is required, ISO standards are the go-to reference, followed by guidelines from the P3M product suite such as MSP and M_o_R. The overarching goal is consistency across all PRINCE2 products. Murray notes their intention to avoid unnecessary jargon, striving for terms that resonate with a broader audience. This commitment has resulted in a pared-down glossary in the latest edition.
