Jama Software today releases new features in its SaaS Product Delivery Platform to help companies bring innovation to market and address their challenges of compressed cycle times, growing complexity and organizational misalignment. Jama\u2019s innovative solution for modern product delivery relies on collaboration, better decision-making and traceability to connect everyone across the organization vested in the outcome into what is being built and why.<\/p>\n
Make Better Decisions, Get to Market Faster<\/strong> \u201cUsing Jama, our agile product team captures 350-400 product decisions per release \u2014 conversations that would otherwise be lost in meetings, in email or buried in documents somewhere,\u201d says Derwyn Harris, Jama co-founder and Product Manager. \u201cNow imagine you\u2019re a 20,000-employee enterprise with a product portfolio of more than 100 products and a workforce that\u2019s 40 percent remote. Thousands of decisions get lost in the shuffle if not captured in context to the work.\u201d<\/p>\n Visualization Features New in Jama Spring 2014 Release:<\/p>\n \u201cComplexity can be an innovation killer,\u201d says Eric Winquist, Jama Software CEO. \u201cComplexity is not going away. In fact, it\u2019s growing across all areas: the number of products, product variants, the number of user stories, test cases and so on. As product complexity grows, particularly as the lines between hardware and software blur, companies that don\u2019t grasp the opportunity to transform the way they think about their product delivery process are at enormous risk.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":45375,"template":"","class_list":["post-26635","press","type-press","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nThe new features in Jama promise to significantly speed product development processes by compressing cycles wasted on waiting for decisions. According to research from Forrester Consulting and Jama, delayed decision-making is the No. 2 cause of product delays, behind issues with requirements. Delayed decision-making stems from common situations such as meeting-intensive processes, loss of intelligence from one project to the next and general lack of context into upstream and downstream impacts of decisions themselves.<\/p>\n\n
