Sum of parts. Tooironic 12:17, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Could you point to which sense of which parts? DCDuring TALK 12:52, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Keep. Widespread use in project management. Standardized term used in PM certification. DCDuring TALK 17:00, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

No matter how much I look, I can't guess the meaning, so probably keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:49, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

If it's such a standardised term, why doesn't it have a Wikipedia page? Tooironic 01:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Hard to speculate on the operations of WP. In general, WP is not all that strong on business, finance, and management, probably because there aren't enough business and management people involved. The ones that are involved have too much self-confidence to bother looking such a thing up. The term doesn't appear in two older (1983 and 1995) books I own on project management. WP has it as a redirect to organization chart, which suggests carelessness, at least. The have it on the OBS dab page.

BTW, which senses of the parts enable us to decode the sum? DCDuring TALK 01:51, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

OK, OK, I give up. :) Maybe you're right. I just wish we had cites for it, is all. Tooironic 23:34, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
