Always default to client if possible, but I prefer the old system methods (i.e. Linux) like Client_FileType_FileName_DueDate_Rev. Gives me the option of sorting in one folder or zipping them with natural sort… I also recognize it’s pretty extra these days 😂

DRAFT _filename_vdate_vFFF_vFinal

Version1_draft

Name of Document (date)

CompanyName Title [Customer Name, TLP] YYYY[.]MM[.]DD

For example

Accenture Network Project Roadmap [Meta, TLP-AMBER+STRICT] 2024.04.02

Having company name up front is useless for me but I assume it to be helpful for my customers as they can immediately entity it as my work

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
