Project Plan
Overview
This project for Georgia Tech Research Institute aims to develop an open-source IT management application that can be expanded later for developing IT department initiatives. Applications for managing IT projects are very limited. Most software on the market is too expensive for smaller firms or does not have all the functional tools to efficiently manage products. GTRI would like to develop a web application that is free to use or could potentially be licensed later by future groups or IT companies.
