I agree that buzzwords get misused alot and that makes me sad too. In a recent research project I just completed many of those questioned didn’t fully understand the meaning of the terms they used to describe the processes and practices they did every day :( To try to help clear some of this up and educate people on some commonly misused terms I also wrote a post about that helps product managers learn more.

One thing I noticed was that both you and I included other reading in our posts and I think that is one of the important parts here. Everyone needs to understand the fundamentals and origins of the way they work before they give what they do a name or buzzword. Reading and other education about how people work will help them understand the definitions and also help them decide how they can get better and improve.

Do you think there are other ways to stop misusing buzz words?
