A naming convention is a set of agreed upon guidelines or standards to name your files or data in order to describe what they are and how they relate to each other.
For example, you decide to name all project documentation with the following descriptors:
- Project Name_Project Lead_Description_Creation Date
Using these guidelines, project files may look like this:
- Alpha Project_Jane Smith_Project Plan_20July2022
- Alpha Project_Jane Smith_Financials_20July2022
