"Giving programs and donations to non-profits are generally the first thing that companies scale back on when a struggling economy forces budget cuts. Fortunately there are great no-cost ways for non-profits to continue to administrate and build their organization in spite of leaner times"

Gizmos Freeware Review, November 2011
"RequirementOne is a free web-based project management tool, developed by RequirementsOne based in Sunnyvale, CA.
Now being well versed in the traditional Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process, I expected to see something on the order of planning, analysis, design, implementation and maintenance. In fact a key point for Reqman is that it does not conform to a certain SDLC. You can view ReqMan as a bunch of “legos” that can be put together to fit your specific needs. With ReqMan, flexibility is the key. Even if you are used to traditional methods, ReqMan can handle your needs."
