Standards
Project Naming Standard
Give every project a stable, unambiguous identity that never depends on a mutable customer or project name.
- Owner
- Project Manager
- Governs
- Project ID format, e.g. IET-YYYY-NNNN.
- Applies to
Requirements
Each requirement must eventually be verifiable — not policy prose.
Every project must have a system-generated Project ID matching IET-YYYY-NNNN, assigned at Project Creation and never reassigned or edited.
Every project must also have a human-readable display name, stored separately from the Project ID, which may change without affecting the ID.
No other system record may reference a project by its display name — every cross-reference uses the Project ID.
- Future system rule
System auto-generates the Project ID; manual override is blocked.
Compliance measurement
Projects with a non-conforming or duplicate Project ID ÷ total projects — should be zero once IDs are system-generated.
