I thought I’d put together a manifesto of sorts that describes our beliefs and the corresponding features in Contour.
Every Project is unique
By making artifacts completely customizable we’ve enabled companies to define their own process. Therefore Contour can adapt to your process rather than the tool forcing your team to adapt.
The whole team matters
A team is made up of many different roles and personalities. Usability, accessibility and notifications are key to ensuring all members utilize and benefit the tool.
Change happens
Tracking change and knowing the impact of a change is critical throughout the life of a project. Contour utilizes traceability between any or all artifacts and provides multi level deep impact analysis, suspect links, matrix and notifications of change.
Data can be everywhere and anywhere
Your requirements may currently exist in Word, Excel, a database or have yet to be gathered. With Contour you can import data, migrate data, or enter data. From there you can attach images, documents or URLs to an artifact. And lastly you can filter, export or render your data in custom reports that are rich and informative.
We’ll be adding more. Feel free to contact us if you can think of other items that should be listed here.
