Project Management

Kansas.gov works with state agencies to identify services that, when Web enabled, can provide maximum benefit to agencies and your constituents. Project opportunities may be initiated by agencies, customer demand or inspiration from a successful service being provided by other eGovernment portals. Once identified, services are prioritized and added to the Kansas.gov development queue.
