[Year 12 IT Apps] Scope of project management terms

[Bill Oldham]

'Distractor' - My term for a multiple choice option that is tempting, but

It is not to be confused with an Irish farmer pointing to his Massey
Ferguson

Good one, Mark!  May I use it?

Regards,
Bill Oldham (retired from RMIT and becoming a digital artist - similar to
the Irish digital calculator)
