1. OneOne Hundred Ltd developed a project management tool called ApproachTM over several versions from 2008-2009, starting in Excel and eventually becoming Joomla! components. 2. The tool helps identify points of failure in projects and where to focus efforts for maximum effect, as only 30% of projects are considered successful. 3. OneOne Hundred created two proprietary tools, ApproachTM and Approach-GTM, as well as other custom components, modules, tables and integrations to build out the tool for use in Joomla!.
