Achieve a Best-Practice Approach to Traceability

To better support development, change management, and collaboration, teams must achieve requirements traceability across siloed stakeholders and tools. Most software development teams have chosen Jira as their preferred task management tool and make the choice not to switch to cumbersome legacy ALM tools that would negatively impact their productivity. Attempts to try and achieve Live Traceability with Jira—or Jira plugins—break down quickly as the complexity of versioning, change impact analysis, and baselines overwhelm a task management approach. This is where Jama Connect can help.

The best-practice approach implemented by hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies and startups alike, is to use Jama Connect to create Live Traceability across a best-of-breed toolchain including Jira or Azure DevOps for the software development team. This approach simultaneously solves the need for Live Traceability AND causes no disruption to existing tools, processes, and even field names for software development team using Jira.
