Full origin of CLM →Frequently asked questions
What does CLM mean in a text message?
Most often career limiting move — a joke about doing something at work that will not help your promotion chances. It is used self-deprecatingly far more than as a real warning.
What does CLM stand for in business software?
Contract lifecycle management: the systems that handle a contract from drafting and approval through signature, storage and renewal. It sits alongside CRM for customers and HRIS for staff in the corporate software stack.
How do I know which meaning is intended?
By setting. In a chat about a meeting that went badly it is career limiting move; in a procurement or legal document it is contract lifecycle management. The two audiences rarely overlap, so ambiguity is uncommon in practice.
