Features to Ensure Product Quality and Meet Safety-Critical Standards for Risk Management in Government Agencies
Requirements Management
Requirements Management in Jama Connect provides a data-driven requirements architecture for your digital engineering environment, speeding the systems development process, strengthening alignment, and ensuring quality and compliance. Create, derive, review, validate, and verify requirements with a single source of truth. Configuration management is automated with immutable audit trails, and change management is built-in and designed for a streamlined workflow.
• Support complex requirements hierarchies and flowdowns • Import data from static documents or legacy tools • Have a single source of truth for clear visibility throughout the development process • Iterate in real time for informed decision-making and consensus • Support agile and industry-specified development methodologies • Reuse validated requirements to quickly replicate features across systems
Live Traceability
Easily analyze requirements traces and create traces to any type of data in a single view. Users can be constrained to create traces consistent with a definable relationship model. Trace relationships alert the team when changes are made that impact other items.
• Reduces risk inherent in manual trace link management • Facilitates end-to-end impact analysis • Reduces time spent to create trace reports • Assists in complying with government industry standards • Ensures what is being delivered matches the stated needs
Reports
Track all changes to information within the government risk and compliance management software with customizable, real-time reporting, and baselining.
• Create document export templates for Word, Excel, CSV, PDF, HTML • Automate baseline comparison reports • Create real-time project dashboards for government risk management • Custom report creation using BIRT and Velocity • Connections to BI and 3rd party reporting tools supported
Jama Connect Interchange for ReqIF
Transfer requirements and associated metadata between customers and suppliers to create an ongoing exchange of requirements throughout the product development or migrate requirements data from other ReqIF-compliant tools using the Requirements Interchange Format industry standard.
• Ease collaboration across supply chain by using OMG international standard ReqIF • Use Jama Connect while effectively interfacing with other requirements management tools • Avoid manual rework through roundtrip requirements over multiple interactions, loss free, and without duplication • Verify that all requirements are met, regardless of their original source
Reviews & Approvals
Simplify the review and approval process by capturing collaborative feedback from stakeholders, including voting for priority and electronic signatures for approver roles.
• Increase participation in the review process • Retain an historical record of all decisions made and by whom • Provide visibility sooner in the review process • Generate approval-ready content for e-signature faster • Collaborate more often and capture tacit knowledge
Verification & Validation
Streamlines capture of traces between requirements and V&V data. Ability for continuous feedback loop from V&V activities to ensure the system is meeting the specifications and operational needs of the user.
• Create and organize test plans, test cases, dashboards and reports to manage testing in real-time • Execute test plans that directly associate with requirements and features • Capture pass-fail results • Capture defects and automatically relate to test runs and test cases • Streamline test results review adjudication • Generate out-of-the-box test execution reports
