We looked at the below to help us think of a name:
- Naming your service - GOV.UK Service Manual
- Verbs - X-GOVUK Services list
- Other product names in Regional Services Division
We had 3 ideas:
- Open a free school. This was what we called the end-to-end-service, from when a new school is needed to when it opens.
- Manage free school projects. The words 'manage', 'free school' and 'projects' came up in user research sessions. It also felt like a good summary of our product's scope.
- Report on free schools. Users uploaded data into Free Schools Store for reporting purposes, so 'report' felt like a good verb to use.
We decided on Manage free school projects and:
- validated this with our subject matter experts
- updated our prototype name
Next step
Validate 'Manage free school projects' with our users.
