   icTracker - What's New in V7.1 [HTML]

• The new release adds ability to copy projects in addition to the suite of project management tools offered by the icTracker. With this new feature, you can dramatically reduce the time it takes to create the project plan by creating project templates. A project template is the generic project that holds all the necessary information (project documents, project notes, and common tasks, etc). This helps to ensure that the same tasks are done each time a project involves that particular area. This will also ensure that project managers do not waste valuable time going over the same set of common tasks for each project, they invest their time once, and the organization gets a payoff on that investment.

For example, a non-technical company prefers to use icTracker as the task management and project management software, an administrator can set the bug tracking off for the entire company.
