Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
- Jama Connect has eliminated some basic redundant work and made requirements management and traceability much easier to maintain. This saves time on projects.
- Collaboration features have made it easier for teams to work on content without having to meet together to make progress.
- The user interface is not completely intuitive and requires some learning curve for even basic use.

Jama Connect - By an MSP Engineer
- Made it easier to know what I'm responsible for, from a work task perspective.

A good experience so far using Jama Connect

Jama is a great tool
- the ability to store and create your own field level data

Jama is the best!
- We have saved so much time just using Jama to get requirement approvals and moving forward with engineering development after approvals.
- Jama has been the center tool around our System Requirements Review.
- We moved away from Google Docs and Google Sheets to capture requirements.
- Traceability was acknowledged and integrated by the team, just by having the feature available.

Good cloud-based requirement management and evolution solution, with room to improve processes
- We do not measure the Return of Investment. We have moved past the Critical Design Review and moving into construction.
- We expect to be able to measure ROI in the form of increased contingency in the next phase.
- Engagement with the tool has not been universal; we had many people relying on the exported Word/PDF documents instead of providing feedback on Jama Connect directly or through reviews. Also many people are using Xray to manage testing of requirements in Jama, and need to integrate with it, currently testing a third-party tool for that.
- We have been able to apply for a non-for-profit license for JIRA and Confluence; we don't seem to have such a possibility with Jama.

Streamlines a difficult process.
- Before Jama, we were doing things on paper so this has greatly increased speed.
- Reduced complexity by having all design control elements in a single place.

Great Requirements Management Tool!
- Jama has allowed us to maintain our system requirements at a much more rapid pace than previously possible. When a requirement or link needs to be updated, new requirements documents can be generated very quickly. This significantly reduces the pull on our engineering resources and leaves us available for more substantive work.
February 12, 2020
Great at requirements management and traceability - Not so great connecting to other industry tools
- Requirements and traceability are clear.
- The tool is expensive compared to Jira/Confluence for a small company.

JAMA Connect Requirement Management Tool

- JAMA Connect is used by 20 or less end-users

Brilliant and Flexible Requirements Management Tool, Rigid and Limited for Other Uses

Jama Connect First Impression
- We are still evaluating the tool for our needs. But it does look promising.

Jama Review from a Jama Power User
- "System of Record" as a concept
- Documentation Control and Maturity
- Improved communication
- Too many clicks, not enough UX features that most users expect from contemporary tools
- Review Center is cludgy
- Jama is providing good requirement gathering management which starts our current agile process and helps it run smoothly to quickly deliver objectives in less time.
- Jama is our golden source of all the requirements. It helped to link the requirements in ALM or in JIRA, which helps to resolve the redundant work as it is compatible to work with Tasktop.

Detailed and user-friendly
- Jama has helped our teams save time by organizing all of our requirements in one place that is easily accessible and quick to search through. The structure is very intuitive and has improved our overall efficiency.
- Positive ROI for any IT organization that works on client-based projects.
- From a business point of view, it can consolidate ones work into one place, where a person can see all their project details and workflow in one place.
- It is better to get client requirements gathered in Jama Connect than messing around with emails to get some specific details that one searches for.
- Effective with managing version control
- Historical comparison
- Reduction of rework

Jama Jammer!
- Jama has allowed for better organization and storage of system documentation.
- Increased collaboration in documentation creation as more content is created in Jama now as opposed to workstations.
