 There is one other advantage to having team names that may not be obvious at first. Agile approaches encourage prioritization of work based on value to be delivered. However traditional planning approaches tends to focus on what we think people do. So, for example, "we have a database server team so we should ensure these people have work to do". By abstracting the team name, it may help us realize that the database server team is full of smart folks that can take on all kinds of work or rapidly learn any new skills required. Perhaps the most important thing this group of people could work on is not "database server work" but "new platform development". There is one other advantage to having team names that may not be obvious at first.
