Aperture is an ongoing effort to improve the visibility of Developer Central services with other PNNL systems and services. Aperture is an add-on for the JIRA platform that allows users of Developer Central to simplify and automate project requests and system maintenance by using JIRA as request system and then JIRA's other sub-systems to carry out other tasks as part of it's task workflow engine. Aperture provides features that make IT oriented services at PNNL enjoyable to use. Aperture is the first tool that was built on JIRA by PNNL.
