VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Mario Maldari: Hello. My name is Mario Maldari, and I’m the Director of Product and Solution Marketing here at Jama Software. Today, I’ll be walking you through a collaborative feature that is widely used across our semiconductor client base, which is our Review Center.
The Review Center allows for collaborative review, approval, and sign-off on requirements, tests, and risks within your Jama Connect projects. The collaboration and decisions made as part of the review are version-controlled and recorded so that at any given time, you can go back to see who made a decision and why. Invite stakeholders and reviewers, even if they are not part of your project or organization. This enables Jama Connect to be the single source of truth for all of your review comments and decisions.

Maldari: Let’s get started. After logging in to Jama Connect, I can send individual requirements and tests for review, or I can send multiple groups of requirements for review. As a moderator of a review, I will select these GPU PRD requirements and initiate a review. This opens our Review Center. I can set a date for the review. I can include related items such as test cases or other supporting documentation. I can set a formal review with unmodifiable changes and settings that my team has agreed upon, or I can conduct a peer review and choose the options I want for this particular review.
I can add users to the review and set them as reviewers or approvers. I can even include the email address of a stakeholder outside of my project or organization that I want to participate in the review. This is performed by using unlimited free reviewer licenses. Doing so helps keep all approvals and sign-offs in one centralized location, is and is always stored and versioned.
Let’s include Roger Dal, who is our IP product lead. Roger ultimately defines how the IP integrates into the SOC. He basically owns the what and the why to ensure the engineering team is building the right thing. His review and input is essential. Once I have added my participants, I can finalize the review and even add some custom instructions. Roger will get notified via email that he has been asked to review the requirements and can simply click on the link to open the project and begin his review.
Once inside Jama Connect, Roger could review the requirements, add comments, and approve or reject. He can notify users by at mentioning them in his comment. He can make comments on specific aspects of the requirement and qualify his question. This provides for a more granular and specific review, making the feedback more accurate and saving time for the moderator.

Maldari: When Roger is complete with his review, the moderator will get notified and can respond to comments and produce new revisions of the review. Once the moderator logs back into Jama Connect, he can review Raji’s comments and updates, respond, and produce a new revision, or finalize the review and close it. All comments history inversions are stored in the project.
Out-of-the-box reports are available for audits, and the review history is always accessible. All past and present reviews are in found in our Review Center. So at any given time, you can go back a year from now, two years from now, ten years from now, and see who approved the requirements, what the discussion was around the requirements, and how they evolved. As you can see, the Review Center allows for seamless collaboration for our semiconductor clients.
Ease of use and collaborative features keep users in the tool, preventing a siloed process across multiple tools. Everything is stored in one place, and it’s easy to see why decisions were made and who made them. Thank you for watching this video on our Review Center. To learn more, visit jamasoftware.com
