Title: Change Requests Methodology
Post by: Grok on August 14, 2003, 09:46 PM
I'm looking for a simple change request management system for a small (<50) IT department.  It should have web interface (we have IIS and Websphere servers), roles (administrator, managers, architects, programmers, reviewers, analysis, etc), support history tracking, reporting, prioritizing, and other nice features.  It also should be free, open source, and if it didn't suck that would be a real bonus.

I ain't 100% sure what you're looking for so I took it in me to look. But this is all I could find. If any of those are it then awesome if not, then, well I tried. :O

Do you honestly think the grokster didn't search the web before posting here?

He probably has, but he probably didn't write the whole explaination of it at www.ask.com like he did on this forum. Thanks. :-*

You do know that ask.com filters out the full explanation you wrote and just searches for the uncommon words, right? Besides, a google search is much more effective then jeeves.
