Q9. What’s a big T and a little t and which is more important?
A9. PNWCG operates under the principle that the committees are self directed within the
scope of their charter and program of work. Big T’s are those formal tasking from PNWCG
specifying a task to be done with an accompanying due date. Little t’s are those self directed
tasks undertaken by a committee. A task being a big T or a little t has nothing to do with its
relative importance.
