It's a bit like having a Reward card for Starbucks, and then a different one for Costa. Each work with their associated counterpart.

A Shared Parameter is a little like a VISA or Mastercard- it is recognised (and can be utilised) by different Families, Projects, etc.. Define it once in a Shared Parameters File and then access it wherever you need it.

The main thing is if you need a parameter to show in a tag AND in a schedule, then a shared parameter is needed. There is more to it, but this is the most basic need a shared parameter addresses.
