Product Details

What is Jama Connect?

Jama Software® is focused on maximizing innovation success in multidisciplinary engineering organizations. Jama Connect® requirements management software is used to minimize the risk of defects, rework, cost overruns, and recalls in fields such as fuel cells, electrification, space, software-defined vehicles, and surgical robotics. Jama Connect enables engineering organizations to manage their development processes by leveraging Live Traceability™ across tools to measurably improve outcomes. The company states its customer base spans the automotive, medical device, life sciences, semiconductor, aerospace & defense, industrial manufacturing, consumer electronics, financial services, and insurance industries.

The #1 problem managing the product development process is identifying risk early across siloed teams and tools.

Jama Connect® is designed to improve product requirement quality, auto-detects product development risk, and measurably increases performance across multi-disciplinary teams developing products, systems, and software — while still allowing the use of their tools of choice. With Jama Connect, teams can identify in real time:
Poorly written requirements with recommended improvements
Missing, changed, or late requirements
Gaps in verification and validation test coverage
Changes made in one engineering discipline that impact others

Product, Systems, and Software Development Teams that Use Jama Connect Perform Better.

With Jama Software's proprietary Traceability Scores™, teams can measure traceability to improve quality and accelerate time to market.

Jama Connect enables these six critical things for development success:
  1. Intelligently improve requirements
  2. Bring all collaboration and reviews online
  3. Unify test case management
  4. Auto-detect development risk
  5. Maintain product state across tools
  6. Manage product complexity and scale

Jama Connect has been a great choice for us. After getting setup with the platform, it has been relatively easy and straight-forward to use, from creating new items, sending out items for review, exporting and printing items, seeing traceability, baselining projects, and much more. Having one central location to do work on requirements and testing has been key to keeping organized during development of our products. In fact, we have been recommending Jama Connect to others!

Jama Connect works very well for organizations where the culture of using requirements and documentation in a systematic manner is already established and accepted. The tool is very easy to use and requires no specific knowledge for doing 90% of the tasks. On the other hand, the tool can be used in many ways, since there is very little automation and it is very customizable. This gives a lot of freedom on one side but also introduces a risk of being "misused" if the right discipline and approach is not applied.

The biggest scenario where Jama Connect is well suited, was use of the review center. We saved money and time since by utilizing key functions of this tool. For our processes, its important to have a controlled and historic context for our peer reviews to ensure the highest quality requirements. A scenario less suited, is trying to use Jama Connect as a task management solution like Jira or other similar project management tools.

Within the automotive scene there are several areas were JAMA would neatly fit, also with OEM's. Specially to track the requirements with the review central which let's you quickly see what is done and what needs to be done to fulfill the requirements.

Jama Connect is extremely flexible and offers all necessary features and tools to manage very complex design input use cases but lacks some of the finer touches to generate design output artifacts with appearance of quality and aesthetics without resorting to additional tools or postprocessing.

Requirements import and export are great but not seamless. It can be improved with correct document tags as word document. For some reason, sometimes the text size, text color and text headings attribute does not match Microsoft Word.

I'm VERY likely to recommend Jama to a colleague because they'd struggle to get anything done without using it! That's the tool we're using for Req Management now, so I recommend to my colleagues that they get amongst it!

Jama is well suited for managing and documenting requirements. The traceability feature to link items to one another upstream and downstream is helpful in seeing how everything fits together. Being able to write test cases and link those to the requirements is helpful as well. It seems to be trickier to produce a neat and easily understandable trace matrix from the links. Redlining and showing different versions to reviewers could also be improved.

Jama Connect provides great coverage views on tracing between multiple levels. Having custom reports and working with their engineers helps create templates that suit our document control system needs. We are still investigating implementing medical device verification and validation testing with their test management suite.

Jama is an excellent tool for requirements management, development, and traceability throughout the development lifecycle. Jama aids in peer reviews of generated artifacts with time-boxed review cycles. Jama provides a robust ecosystem which is highly tailorable to the demands of the particular organization in which it is used.

Jama is well suited for just about all situations. Beside missing some minor functionalities (which are missing in just about all other requirements tools as well), there is nothing to complain about. Support is good and the company is still improving Jama every month.

When you have a development that is distributed in several locations and with specialized disciplines that tend to isolate themselves, Jama may come as a perfect bridge building tool to bring every one together to the same table.Very small and agile teams may be overwhelmed with this tool and may obstruct the creative spirit of the endeavor.

Jama Connect is great for a project containing a broad spectrum of disciplines (mechanical, electrical, firmware, software) that needs formal requirements documentation. It is very instrumental in the development of test plans even though we don't do our plans in Jama Connect. It is easy to come up to speed on and simple to work with. Obviously, this is not well suited for a software team wanting to do agile development.

Jama Connect is a solid framework for systems engineering that can integrate many design processes into a single tool. At a fundamental level, it is a great tool for handling requirements management and traceability but offers a variety of other features such as risk management and verification and validation. For someone who works in the medical device industry, the tool also complies with CFR requirements for electronic approvals and can be validated for such use.
