Jama Connect
About Jama Connect
Jama Software®’s requirements management platform, Jama Connect ®, enables organizations to intelligently manage the development process by leveraging Live Traceability™ across best-of-breed tools to measurably improve outcomes, and minimize the risk of defects, rework, cost overruns, delays, and recalls. Our growing customer base spans the automotive, medical, semiconductor, aerospace & defense, industrial manufacturing, consumer electronics, financial services, and insurance industries.
Features of Jama Connect include impact analysis, test management, live traceability, compliance reporting, feedback, real-time collaboration, version comparison, and more. The solution allows users to store multiple projects in a centralized database, create requirement catalogs to reuse in upcoming products, capture current state/subset of projects as baselines, and compare two versions of a requirement to identify changes. Plus, managers can stream discussions to include new users or stakeholders in ongoing conversations and view all collaborators of an item on a unified platform.
Jama Connect comes with a review center, which enables businesses to share product requirements across multiple teams for review, capture feedback, add electronic signatures in reviews, negotiate on engineering responses, and more. It facilitates integration with several third-party task management, quality testing, and DevOps applications such as Jira, Bugzilla, Tricentis, Ansys, LDRA, Vector Software, and Jenkins, among others.
Key benefits of Jama Connect
The #1 problem in product development is identifying risk early across siloed teams and tools.
Only Jama Connect, the top-rated requirements management and traceability software, auto-detects development risk to reduce rework, delays, and cost overruns.
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

Jama Review from a True User
Reviewed on 2018/11/30
Pros
Web-based and much cheaper option than DOORS.
Learning curve is really flat.
No need for professional IT engineers to maintain the system
Cons
Data export an import extremely not convenient. Now only support export to excel. After excel export, the sheet is not the same format as seen in Jama and it takes me long time to reformat the sheet in excel.
3rd party tools integration is not ideal, like the support to EA, Github,...

Good choice for requirement management
Reviewed on 2017/10/12
Good product but loading and navigation issues
Good product but loading and navigation issues
Pros
1. I have been using Jama for over one and half years. The good thing about JAMA is all the requirements are systematically placed in JAMA. Its search option is good. By typing any keyword, all the related requirements get listed below.
2. I liked the requirement review facility in Jama. All the comments are well preserved. By going through them, I can ensure whether any comments are still open. It helps in tracking the closure of all questions/comments raised during requirement review.
3. Notification service of JAMA is quite good
Cons
1. I felt that loading and navigation of Jama needs to be improved. Sometimes the delay is quite noticeable.
2. Though the homepage contains all important information, little improvement in look and feel of GUI can make it more attractive.
3. There should be auto login in Jama using windows login password like other software I use. Every time I have to manually give windows login/password to enter Jama

Pros
Tracks my requirements, helps collaborate with other engineers on requirements, the Jama Reviews and change process is easy to implement and use. They also added e-signatures for approvers which has been key in baselining requirements.
Cons
Its hard to separate admin access from create access, though recently Jama implemented changes to admin usage and its helped. The baselining feature is not strong either, rather, items are baselined per review regardless of approvals and rejections.
Response from Jama Software
Thank you for taking the time to write this review! We are happy to hear that Jama Connect has helped you with baselining, review cycles, requirements / traceability management, and more.
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding baselining and permissions / access as well.
