Purpose of a Project Name
The project name is the primary identifier of a project in Global Project Tracker. A clear, standardized name helps users quickly understand what the project is, where it is located, and how to search or filter it later.
A good project name should be:
Descriptive, not generic
Consistent across similar projects
Easy to understand without opening the full project record
Standard Project Naming Format
Use this structure in most cases:
Project Type / Facility Name – Location (City, State, Country)
Example
Data Center Development – Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Residential Apartment Complex – Whitefield, Bengaluru, India
Solar Power Plant – Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India
This format ensures uniformity across the database and improves discoverability.
Step-by-Step: Creating a Project Name
Step 1: Identify the Project Type
Start with what the project actually is.
Examples:
Data Center
Hospital
Residential Tower
Highway Expansion
Manufacturing Plant
Warehouse Facility
Avoid vague terms like “Construction Project” or “Development Work”.
Step 2: Add the Official Facility or Project Name (If Available)
If the project has an officially announced name, include it.
Examples:
ABC Tech Park – IT Campus
GreenField Pharma Manufacturing Unit
If no official name exists, stick to a clear descriptive name based on usage or asset type.
Step 3: Add the Location
Always include location details in this order:
City
State
Country
This is critical because many projects share similar names.
Correct:
Logistics Park Development – Chakan, Maharashtra, India
Incorrect:
Logistics Park Development
Step 4: Keep It Clean and Consistent
Follow these rules:
Use title case (capitalize key words)
Do not include project cost, phase numbers, or stage details in the name
Avoid abbreviations unless they are widely recognized (e.g., SEZ, IT Park)
Do not add internal notes or assumptions

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using internal or temporary names like “Client Project 1”
Adding speculative details that are not confirmed
Writing overly long names with too much information
Skipping location details
Quick Checklist Before Saving
Before finalizing the project name, ask:
Can someone understand what this project is in one glance?
Is the location clearly mentioned?
Does this follow the standard format used across the platform?
If the answer is yes to all three, the project name is good to go.
