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 […]
For the fourth consecutive year, Jama Connect has earned the TrustRadius Top Rated Award in requirements management. TrustRadius is an independent B2B software review platform. The award is determined entirely by verified user reviews. There are no analyst panels or nominations, just input from the teams who use the product every day. What the TrustRadius Top Rated […]
A defense program contracts three suppliers before holding its Preliminary Design Review (PDR). Six months into development, each supplier has interpreted the system requirements differently because no authoritative baseline existed when contracts were signed. The integration milestone becomes a discovery event, revealing interface conflicts that trace back to requirements the teams never reconciled. This retroactive […]
Jama Software recently announced that Jama Connect® now delivers a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This may appear as a mere technical enhancement, but it represents something more fundamental: a shift in how engineering organizations can operationalize AI within governed, traceable environments. Requirements and traceability management platforms have long served as repositories for structured engineering […]
A single requirement written without a measurable threshold can split two engineering teams into conflicting interpretations for months. The hardware group designs to one spec, the software group builds to another, and nobody discovers the conflict until integration testing forces a collision, sending both teams back to the drawing board. That scenario plays out across […]
