One of the things I learned during my career was to name projects.
Give them an identity!
If you already give a name to your projects that name is: FABULOUS, ATTRACTIVE, SPECTACULAR, EXCITING (for yourself, for the team, for the customer)? Saving Changes...

Dear Vincent,
Our company completed more then 200+ projects (including small and big), we are using Document Management System (DMS) for saving the files and easy sharing the documents, If any information needed from projects completed years back should be easy to find/search.
Dear Ahmad
Thank you for your opinion
Has this process become easier because you have given the projects a name? Saving Changes...

Thanks for providing the discussion.
Use specific levels of words such as "development" or "suggestion." In addition, include business names such as "retail," "medical," and "finance."
Short and descriptive names are preferred.
Dear Takeshi
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
Do you use a combination of the two to create a name for the project? Saving Changes...

Dear Luis,
Each organisation may have its own unique approach to naming projects or they just may follow a version control numbering systems.

Dear Luis,
I remember one time a long time ago managing a project ironically called 'Project X' because it was and R&D project with not strict budget or deadline but was a make or break project for the organisation that I worked for at the time. At the time given this much latitude was exciting, interesting but also dangerous. The outcome saved the organisation to fight another day. Looking back I learnt more during that project then in any other period of my life so maybe I look at the name as being FABULOUS, ATTRACTIVE, SPECTACULAR, EXCITING.

I agree with your statement: "Names have power. They give the team identity and allow everyone to speak the same language when describing the project." This has been my experience as well.

Hi Luis,
I think that a good project name should be attached to the scope. What Deven Patel said in his comment resonates with me.
