Corporate phrase: “To Align”

Definition:

A recent euphemism used by project managers for “Have a meeting where I will try and organise any deliverables you might have, so that I get mine first”

Explanation:

Used in the context of a meeting or call: “Do you have 10 minutes so we can just align”.

This has replaced the more honest “To Prioritise”, and the more informal “To Catch-up” .
