What is a business glossary?

< 1 min read

A business glossary is a centralized list of business terms with clear definitions.
It ensures everyone uses the same meaning for key metrics and data fields.
In one project, we created a glossary for terms like revenue, active customer, and churn.
This reduced confusion between sales and finance teams.
The glossary included calculation logic and data sources.
It was maintained along with the BI documentation.
Business users referred to it while reviewing dashboards.
A glossary improves consistency and trust in reports.
