Exploring the Jama Connect Automotive Solution
Grant Rhodes: Hello, and welcome to the Jama Connect Features in Five series. My name is Grant Rhodes, and I’m a Senior Solutions Consultant here at Jama Software.
Today, we’ll be walking through the automotive solution. Jama Software provides robust tools and solutions to help automotive developers streamline compliance with ISO 26262, ISO 21434, ASPICE, and other critical industry standards.
Centralized Management with Jama Connect
Through Jama Connect, teams can manage requirements, tests, risks, and traceability in a centralized platform, ensuring end-to-end visibility across the development cycle.
This level of traceability is crucial for demonstrating adherence to safety and security standards. It enables significant productivity and quality improvements, dramatically reduces the risk of product delays, cost overruns, defects, rework, and recalls, and ultimately results in faster time to market.
The Jama Connect automotive solution is a complete set of frameworks, example projects, and procedural documentation intended to accelerate the implementation of Jama Connect for organizations developing automotive systems and components. The foundation of our automotive solution is Jama Connect, our industry-leading, best-in-breed requirements management solution.
Purpose-Built for Automotive Development
Purpose-built to track the requirements of complex systems and reduce risk and inefficiencies of document-based legacy systems, the automotive solution allows teams to start working in Jama Connect with zero setup and configuration time. Alternatively, teams can work with a Jama Connect consultant to customize the solution to meet their company’s exact business needs.

Automotive Solution Frameworks
Rhodes: The automotive solution frameworks come in the form of projects in Jama Connect. These include definitions of item types and relationships as well as example project hierarchies that are aligned to key industry regulations. Here, I have the base automotive framework project open.
This image represents the traceability information model applied within this project and visualizes the allowable data types and relationship rules. Requirements are covered by lower-level requirements or design elements and are related to test case items to prove compliance. In addition to the item types and relationships, each framework also contains a project structure designed to highlight important sets of data.
These models and hierarchies have been designed using input from industry best practices and are usable out of the box. However, Jama Connect is configurable and can be customized to meet any needs specific to your organization or product development cycle.
Sample Projects for Hands-On Experience
In the project tree, we can see that in addition to the framework projects, the solution also delivers sample projects.
These utilize a framework but are populated with sample data. In these projects, teams can get hands-on experience with the defined item types and relationships. For example, opening the automotive safety and security sample set project, we can see an example of a hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA).

Export Templates and Reports
Rhodes: The automotive solution also includes many export templates and reports for generating HTML, PDF, Word, and Excel outputs from the system.
Some reports are generic and included in all Jama Connect instances. Others are targeted for automotive customers, providing content and formatting specific to industry needs. For example, the HARA and TARA reports give the ability to export safety and security items from a project. Since the sample set project is populated with data, we can use it to better understand the outputs that these reports deliver.
