+# Projects
+
+A _project_ refers to a cohesive collection of services, networks, and volumes which are defined and managed using a `compose.yml` file. These are the components of your cloud application.
+
+## Project Names
+
+The _project name_ can be defined in the compose file with [the `name` property](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/04-version-and-name/#name-top-level-element), otherwise the base name of the project directory will be used.
+
+The [`--project-name` CLI flag](/docs/cli/defang) can be used to specify the target project name when the `compose.yaml` file is not present.
