Just goes to show that "Verbing weirds language." --Hobbes the Tiger (or was it Calvin?)

My personal favorite bizspeak at the moment is "plan-to-closure methodology." It's really popular in my workplace, at the moment. I still haven't figured out quite what it means.

At a full guess it's a request to have a full plan of how things will be tested, approved/disapproved, fixed, etc all the way to the end of project or the end of life on the item in question.

Yeah, that's pretty much my best guess, too, but a lot of the time, that's not how people use it. My theory is they're making it up as they go.
