New features in Contour 3.5 include custom workflow, test management enhancements and greater enterprise control over project data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are focused on solving one of the hardest problems in business today, which is the communication gaps that companies face between the strategy and execution of complex projects,\u201d explained Eric Winquist, CEO of Jama Software. \u201cWith Contour 3.5, we continue to make it easier for teams to deliver higher quality and faster time to market by uniting people around a shared vision and helping them stay aligned as they iterate and execute on the requirements of their projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Jama Contour Works<\/strong><br \/>\nContour tracks the ongoing flow and activity stream of feedback, decisions and changes to the requirements and other important details of a project that naturally occur during the development process. Delivered through a flexible and easy-to-use Web application, Contour provides all of the core functionality expected for requirements management \u2013 including traceability, test management, change management, diagramming, re-use, workflow and reporting \u2013 but without the painful overhead and expensive learning curves of traditional enterprise software. Contour\u2019s unique value is in its Review Center feature that creates real-time, actionable collaboration across all stakeholders \u2013 from executive sponsors, product owners and customers to project managers, business analysts, developers and QA teams \u2013 keeping everyone in lockstep and aligned to the strategic goals of the projects. Its flexibility allows teams to customize Contour to fit their unique development processes, whether they are using Waterfall, Agile or a hybrid of methodologies. Also, through integrations with other leading development tools, Contour provides a best-of-breed solution that ensures requirements are properly managed and, if modified, communicated instantly across the enterprise to ensure that everyone understands what the team is building and why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":45375,"template":"","class_list":["post-26616","press","type-press","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This
