Use this tool to manage and track project requests including; change requests, problem reports, software bugs or incidents. You can also define your own request types and each of these can have its own request work flow. Fast Track - Request Management includes PRINCE 2 Support and integrates with MS Visual SourceSafe. Requests have the following attributes:
Project Request Type Component Severity Platform Release Status
Requests are progressed by using the Progress command. This command will automatically identify the next state, determine if the request has to be auto assigned to a predefined person and also determine if a mandatory comment is required from the user (auto prompt). You can attach files to a given request and also configure Fast Track - Request Management to send out Email notification to the new assignee.
