INTRODUCTION
The team at Getta Byte Software has identified the need to improve upon the existing or to implement a new billing
software system. The current system used by the company is “manual, time-consuming, and inaccurate” (Getta Byte
Software–The Project Charter video).
A project team has been established to work on creating a system that is “automate, fast, and accurate” (Getta
Byte Software–The Project Charter video). The new system will utilize online cloud services with dynamic updates that
should use 25% less labor and reduce billing cycles by 30%.
The project is to be completed by September 10 with a first pilot release on September 1.
