Jargon of the Day: Modalities

By Alanna Shaikh | 25 November, 200815 November, 2011 | 4 Comments |

Jargon: Modalities

Translation: Patterns, or systems. Commenters feel free to chime in, but I think this is pretty much a nonsense world that people use to avoid saying “stuff.”

    This jargon insight is helpful. Do “granularity” and “operationalize” next…

    I love suggestions. I’ll do those next.

    By the way, someone at work the other day admitted he uses the word modalities solely to confuse people.

    You’re stovepiping your modalities analysis again. I hate that.

    Phil, you don’t understand. I am utilizing an innovative vertical analytical paradigm.
