Only Jama Connect Delivers Live Requirements Traceability

Leverage real-time insights and seamless integrations to enhance productivity, reduce risks, and ensure compliance throughout your product development lifecycle.

Achieve Unmatched Live Traceability™ Across the Development Cycle

Only companies using Jama Connect can define a Traceability Information Model, sync best-of-breed tools, measure traceability in real time, and auto-detect risk across the end-to-end development process.

Live Traceability™

Live Traceability occurs in real time as the product development process progresses to improve overall productivity (by ensuring engineers across disciplines are always working off the most recent and correct versions) and to reduce the risk of negative product outcomes (delays, defects, rework, cost overruns, recalls, etc.) through the early detection of issues.

Measure and Improve Development Success Through Live Requirements Traceability

Better requirements traceability practices and higher Trace Scores are proven to:

Reduce Cycle Times

Increase Success Rates

Reduce Iterations

Speed Time to Market

Gain Visibility & Control

Ensure Compliance

Higher Trace Scores™ = Improved Product Quality and Faster Time to Market

TEST CASE EXECUTION AND DEFECT DETECTION

Top quartile benchmarked outperformed bottom-quartile counterparts by 2.5x

TEST QUANTITY AND TESTS PASSED

Top quartile performers outperformed bottom-quartile counterparts by nearly 2X.

Jama Software requirements traceability benchmark

Jama Software is the first to measure traceability thanks to our clients’ participation in a benchmarking dataset of over 40,000 complex product development projects spanning aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, medical device, semiconductor, space systems, and more.

All of this is made possible by our core product, Jama Connect, which enables the largest community of engineers using requirements management SaaS (Software as a Service) in the world.

In this Requirements Traceability Benchmark, we examine how traceability is measured, and the business practices that separate top-quartile performers from the rest. This is the first large-scale, empirical research to confirm that higher levels of traceability correlate to cycle time and quality improvements.

Realize Live Requirements Traceability with Jama Connect

With Jama Connect, teams can implement Live Traceability and measure it to continuously improve end-to-end systems development process performance even through siloed development, test, and risk activities.

Requirements traceability across the entire systems development lifecycle is a core tenant of the systems engineering discipline and underpins industry standards to ensure higher quality, faster cycle times, and less costly rework. Jama Connect is a modern solution for requirements management and traceability. In the platform, teams can:

Provide backward and forward visibility for requirements
Easily conduct an impact analysis
Generate trace reports
Get an overview of how your requirements tie together
Auto-Detect Risk and Prevent Defects, Rework, and Delays

Jama Connect is the ONLY requirements management solution that delivers Live Traceability across integrations with best-of-breed tooling. No changes are required to engineering teams’ process, tools or field values for Jama Connect to track the life of a requirement through all stages of your development lifecycle, in real time.

Better Product Development: Five Tips to Achieve Live Traceability

Products have become smarter. They have more requirements and interdependencies, and there are more of them than ever. As a result, the product development process has become a matter of managing complexity. This paper discusses five tips that will help you produce the kind of traceability that allows teams to manage complexities more effectively and efficiently across the entire product development process.
