Bottoms up for project names
Is there no end to the silliness of people who name projects? Apparently not.
Ian Murphy at Data Dialogue remembers a software company that he worked for ‘that started a project with a local council which was initially called Sewerage and Housing Information Technology. Several months later they were asked to come up with a different name’.
Mike Edwards writes to tell us that he worked on a Lotus Notes order tracking system, ‘which is still used by the finance department to authorise payments. The name still in use today is “Fixed Asset Acquisition Request Tracking”.’
