Take the pop culture acronym challenge
WIP is an acronym that stands for "Work in progress." It is commonly used by creators of projects that are not yet finished, such as a piece of software, painting, video, essay, or building design.
The acronym functions as a disclaimer to let people know that what they are experiencing is still being worked on. This is common when the creator is looking for feedback from a fresh pair of eyes (AFPOE), such as an artist who is sculpting artwork or a web designer making a website for a client.
You may see it in real life in various ways like written on a note attached to a drawing. Or you may see it digitally like in an email with a design attached or in a description about source code uploaded to a repository.
