Outreach Project Tool

OPT Max is a branch of the current Outreach Project Tool originally created by CSO Lanifex. This version's goal is to add a number of new features that integrate well with the rest of the application. It is currently the only actively developed version of OPT available.

This enhanced version of OPT is in use by 80+ users in the hardware/software development group at Pason Systems as well as the 20+ users at a theatre production company among many other users. Please visit the Sourceforge project site for more details and downloads.
