Do you usually associate the projects you generate with a metaphor?

What characteristics, in your opinion, should these metaphors have?

Dear Luis,

Not off hand. I cant think of examplee were metaphors were used on project but can think of were technical jargon was used on a project that meant something only to the technical team invoved in the project. Sometimes the output and expectation of the project generated marketing tag lines and concepts for logo's that maybe to somebody are a beautiful metaphor.

Dear Daire
Thank you for your opinion

Was this technical jargon used to describe the project? To mobilize the team and stakeholders?

Dear Luis,

Like any project documentation, an appendix at the back described acronyms and abbreviations used by the technical teams when describing various IT architectures and structures. It was a more need to know basis so if you didn't need to know the inner workings then it wasn't applicable.
