The MIT Kerberos Consortium is in need of some help in identifying, selecting and operationalizing web-based systems to support collaboration between the MIT Kerberos Team, sponsors of the MIT Kerberos Consortium and external contributors to the Kerberos code base.
This project is more complex than simply grabbing some system off the shelf and installing it for us. This project is the same as any situation that one might encounter when working for a large IT consultancy, and will have real impact on how our organization does its work.
The first part of this project will involve careful study of the current systems and processes for doing work, how that work will change as a result of a new organizational form, the available types of technologies available to support this new organizational form (blogs, wikis, email, project management systems, bug tracking systems, discussion boards, etc.), and the creation of a report making specific recommendations.
The second part of this project will involve executing on those recomendations
