I recently overheard someone use the expression, “it’s a work in process”. Huh? Work in process? The expression is, “a work in progress,” isn’t it?
I had just enough doubt about whether I had it right to do a search. Turns out WIP is in fact used for “work in process” as well as for the, I assume, more commonly known “work in progress.”
The interesting part of my search was learning that, according to the site I was using, WIP also stands for a great many other things. (See list below. You might notice that the items in number 18, 23, 24 and 26 are all related to our work.)
