It took me a while to realise you where on about the actual target instead of justt the text. Fixed it now though Hi

This is something that has been touched on a little, but I refer to it as <a href="http://logbook.projecttrackr.com/index.php?s=tickets" rel="nofollow">tickets</a>. But you're right. It would need to tie in much more with the bigger picture, such as the impact on milestones and the financial side. I'll be doing a post exploring some of the options with ticketing, what should be involved, some UI sketches, what else is afffected etc, so I'll be sure to get your input on that one. Also, I just double checked, and you actually gave some feedback on it in on of the threads <a href="http://logbook.projecttrackr.com/user-input/forum-feedback-summary/comment-page-1/#comment-9" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

If the customer is being allowed to look through the project materials and such as well, you may want to integrate in, the ability to submit change requests within the site. Changes need to go through an approval process, determine their impact to the overall project, and based on the overall impact, if it would be something that the customer was still willing to make happen after new financial quotes had been drawn up to take that change into account. Basically, the ability for the customer to say, "I would like to go back and make 'this' change." The financial side and everything else could be done elsewhere, but it would allow you a way to keep track of them required changes. If the change is eventually approved, mark it as approved in the system, and then allocate new tasks based to the group to make this change happen. Just an idea. Change Control:
