Requirements, code, and verification artifacts often live in different systems. Engineers switch between tools to understand requirements, implement functionality, and document traceability. By the time an audit arrives, teams may spend days or weeks proving that what they built matches what was specified. That gap shows up often in regulated engineering environments. Security requirements span […]
An avionics team three months into a DO-178C (Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification) effort discovers that many of their high-level requirements have no linked test cases. They had been running test cycles for weeks against requirements that were never fully verified or traced. The rework pushes certification timelines back and adds weeks […]
AI for Engineering Managers: Where It Helps and How to Start Six months into a major program, an engineering manager discovers that three separate teams have been building against different requirement baselines. Nobody catches the misalignment until integration testing, when two subsystems fail to communicate. Rework costs the program six weeks and an entire sprint’s […]
A flight control algorithm passes every simulation on a desktop workstation. The math checks out, the logic is sound, and the team moves to integration. Then, running on the actual electronic control unit (ECU) with real analog signals and millisecond timing constraints, the controller drops samples during a fast transient and clips an internal variable. […]
What Is the Cyber Resilience Act and How to Prepare A vulnerability report arrives, and the question is no longer whether your team can fix it. The real question is whether you can say, within hours, which products contain the affected component and which EU markets they ship to. With components mapped to products in […]
ARP4761A Safety Assessment Structure Traceability gaps in a safety case lead to costly rework when certification teams discover that their Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA), Preliminary System Safety Assessment (PSSA), and System Safety Assessment (SSA) no longer align. When SAE’s S-18 committee released ARP4761A in December 2023, the document grew substantially. That growth reflects the […]
Jama Connect has once again been named a Leader in G2’s Summer 2026 Grid® Report for Requirements Management Software. This recognition, based on data gathered by April 28, 2026, comes directly from the engineering teams who use Jama Connect to build complex, regulated products every day. Below, you’ll see exactly what we earned in the […]
Migrating to Jama Connect from legacy systems is a significant step forward for engineering and product teams. But there is a practical challenge standing between your team and realizing value: your data is still in the old system. Data migration needs strategic implementation, and it can’t be treated as an afterthought. This post shares what success looks like, including our Jama Connect migration methodology, principles, and […]
A 2025 FDA warning letter to Royal Philips found that new product requirements added to a cardiovascular system were never carried into the product safety risk management matrix. The same pattern shows up across industries. Requirements change or get added, downstream artifacts don’t update, and nobody sees the gap until an auditor or a field […]
Imagine a state agency deploys an AI tool to help draft procurement requirements. The tool is fast, the outputs look good, and program staff start using it across multiple projects. Six months later, the inspector general requests documentation showing how a specific contract requirement was developed, who approved it, and how it connected to the original policy […]
