Happy holidays everyone!
On behalf of the entire Jama Software family, I’d like to simply say, Thanks. Thanks to our customers. Thanks to our partners. Thanks to everyone who has made an impact on our business in 2007.
It’s been a great year and it’s a wonderful time to celebrate, and we’re just [...]

We often are asked about the history of Jama Software so I thought I’d post on how we got started…
A few years ago, after a frustrating session working with one of our clients expensive, cumbersome requirements management tools I heard the team complaining about requirements being locked away available to only a few users, the [...]

I was on a sales call last week demonstrating our requirements management solution, Contour, walking through some common scenarios when the client asked if we use our tool internally. We do, and we get this question periodically - do you eat your own dog-food and the like. After I said we did, they asked [...]
While Contour is relatively new - we just released this year, it’s already gained significant traction in the requirements management space. We’ve heard quite a bit from our customers about the benefits they are seeing. What is especially interesting to us are the benefits customers experience that we didn’t anticipate. It’s [...]

I just returned yesterday from our European launch of Contour which overall was a great experience and am a bit jetlagged at the moment. We traveled through 5 countries, met with prospective customers and did a whirlwind press tour in London. Articles are just starting to appear this week and we’ll post links [...]

We’ll also be traveling [...]

With the release of Contour 1.3 users are able to see immediately the project artifacts – and team members working on those items that may be affected. This is one of the primary benefits or implementing project traceability.
For example, if I am a business analyst and I’m about to make a change to a [...]

The latest release of Contour, our requirements management tool, incorporates some new features that got me thinking about traceability.
At Jama we use relationship and traceability interchangeably. To us the term “relationship†is much easier to understand than “directional trace†even though it may not be technically correct. (Contour can be set to use whatever [...]

Contour requirements management tool is now integrated with Open QA’s Selenium core!
We were having trouble testing our own application as it uses Ajax extensively and our test tools were causing us grief. We switched to Selenium and it’s worked great for us – after a bit of learning. In fact we liked it so much [...]
