Introducing Jama Connect Advisor™
Author Requirements Quickly, Easily, Efficiently, and with Precision by leveraging the power of natural language (NL) processing.
National language processing is a process in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) can read, interpret, and derive meaning from human languages. Its reach spans from email filters to predictive text to data analytics.
It can also be applied to building complex products. Four out of five development teams have production failures and poor requirements management is the number one reason projects fail and may lead to cost overruns, delayed time to market, and product defects.
And better requirements management starts with better requirements.
To that end, Jama Software® is proud to announce that Jama Connect Advisor™, powered by natural language processing, INCOSE’s best practices, and the Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax (EARS), teams can now check the quality and accuracy of their requirements.

Requirement: a condition or capability needed by a user to solve a problem or achieve an objective.
