© 2010 IBM Corporation Information Management 2 Project Objectives  Provide the following to the Tec Team –Tec Request Activity Tracking Tec Requests are submitted by IBM technical specialist requesting resources and services Capture/classify the request Track request progress through it’s process Provide Tec Request metrics reporting –Inventory Tracking Inventory consists of Hardware – mainly PCs Capture/classify existing inventory Track inventory movement – check-in/check-out (via Barcode) Provide Inventory metrics reporting –Inventory Projection Match Tec Request to Inventory and determine if Inventory can support Tec Request  TWO teams only –This will be a real system. Thus, you will be interacting with the actual users of this system. In order to be respectful of their time commitments, we can only allow two teams to work on this project Source:If applicable, describe source origin
