Effect

Abbreviation(s) or Acronym(s): None

Definition(s):

(noun) Something that follows, results from, or is a consequence of one or more Causes.

NOTE: When Effects are equated with Causes, as in “Cause and Effects,” they often tend to represent things that occur at more of a granular, systematic level, as opposed to those things that result at a coarser, business level, where the term “Outcome” is typically used, as in “Cause and Outcome”.
