Abstract
Current generic Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&i) management systems implemented in businesses lack of project requirements specification and they hardly integrate IT control issues. This paper focuses on the definition of a model for managing R&D&i projects in companies. This model, based on ISO/UNE 166002:2006 [1] standard, addresses the shortcomings that the generic models have by means of integrating good practices in IT management from framework COBIT [2]. Moreover, our proposed model includes requirements for research and development projects as specified in ISO/UNE 166001:2006 [3] standard. Once this reference model is set, we introduce the GIDIX software for giving support while developing such projects. This software can be used as the main tool for managing R&D&i projects in a company making use of our R&D&i management system model and it incorporates the features needed to fulfill the requirements specified by our model.
