Project X

Amanda Freeland at Exemplas recalls a project name at Uniplex in the early 1990s, where the software was codenamed Jason.
‘As the expected release date got progressively later, it was rumoured that the project name was actually July, August, September, October, November.’
A colleague who worked at British Aerospace in the late 1980s – not a happy time for the firm, some of you may recall – remembers that the outplacement consultants in charge of redundancies at that time were responsible for project Focus.
It was not long before the staff who had been outplaced decided that Focus stood for a five-word phrase, the last four words of which were: ‘…Off Cos U’re Sacked.’
Send in more project names please.
