  • SME - turns out people aren't talking about small-medium enterprises but subject matter experts.

    Fuck knows why people have tried to co-opt such a well-established acronym. Also, it just seems to get used when expert would be perfectly sufficient, no-one is thinking that the expert being brought in has an expertise in a totally different area.

  • I think 'Subject Matter Expert' escaped from PRINCE2 project management terminology (or similar), where it has a specific meaning: 'a project stakeholder due to knowledge, not seniority or responsibility'.

    I agree though. 'Domain expert' is another one...
