{verb} | A directive indicating what action is being taken. Good verbs for project names include things like Develop, Obtain, Upgrade, Implement, Research, Rehost, Migrate, etc. |
|---|---|
{noun} | The item or system being worked on as a result of the project. For example, System, Server, Web Site, SQL Server, Telephone System, Network Switch, etc. Note that the noune noun can be a single word or a noun phrase. |
{modifier} | Further defines the relationship between the verb and the noun. Modifiers should be prefixed with a preposition such as “from,” “on,” “to,” “with,” etc. For example “to Version 2.1” or “with Oracle.” In rare instances, it may be necessary to use multiple modifiers (e.g., “to Version 2.17 from Version 2.12”), but this should be done by exception. |
{sponsor} | Optional and should only be used to eliminate any confusion about the purpose of similar projects. For example if several projects are under way to upgrade servers from one OS to another but separate projects are being run for individual clients, the sponsor name should be included in each of the project names in order to tell them apart. The sponsor’s name should always be prefixed with the word “for.” |
