English language (monolingual) [Non-PRO]
Business/Commerce (general) / agendize
English term or phrase: Please agendize the budget problem.
I am looking for a source that proves this is a word. I can't find it in any dictionary.

Selected answer:put the budget problem on the agenda
Explanation:
Yes, here is a link where it has been used in a text. It appears to be what you could call "business slang". A word under development, and will no doubt begin to appear in new dictionaries soon!
I see there was an earlier posting on ProZ.com (see the second link) but I couldn't get the links on that posting to work.

Best wishes,
Bill
