Migrating to Jama Connect from legacy systems is a significant step forward for engineering and product teams. But there is a practical challenge standing between your team and realizing value: your data is still in the old system. Data migration needs strategic implementation, and it can’t be treated as an afterthought. This post shares what success looks like, including our Jama Connect migration methodology, principles, and […]
A 2025 FDA warning letter to Royal Philips found that new product requirements added to a cardiovascular system were never carried into the product safety risk management matrix. The same pattern shows up across industries. Requirements change or get added, downstream artifacts don’t update, and nobody sees the gap until an auditor or a field […]
A single requirement written without a measurable threshold can split two engineering teams into conflicting interpretations for months. The hardware group designs to one spec, the software group builds to another, and nobody discovers the conflict until integration testing forces a collision, sending both teams back to the drawing board. That scenario plays out across […]
Breaking Through Organizational Inertia and Driving Adoption Change is hard. Even the most advanced semiconductor organizations struggle to adopt new processes and tools. Resistance doesn’t result from bad intentions; instead, it arises from organizational inertia: entrenched cultures, siloed teams, and the very human tendency to stick with what’s familiar. In this practical discussion, we explore […]
Standardizing Requirements Management Across the Organization Learn how to prevent costly production failures with standardized requirements management. A survey by Engineering.com revealed that a staggering 83% of companies faced production outcome failures — such as significant delays, cost overruns, product defects, compliance gaps, recalls, omitted requirements, and extensive rework — often stemming from inadequate requirements […]
What Is IBM DOORS Software? Features, Limitations, and Why Teams Are Switching If you’ve worked in aerospace, defense, or medical devices, you’ve almost certainly run into IBM DOORS. It’s long been one of the most widely used requirements management tools in regulated industries. But the engineering world has changed since DOORS was built, so a […]
Transmutex Wastes No Time Choosing Jama Connect for Developing Nuclear Waste Recycling Systems “Jama Connect’s ease of use is a big plus for us because we have a lot of people inexperienced with requirements who can now author and review requirements without training or other meetings,” – ALEXANDRE CARVALHO, SYSTEMS ENGINEER, TRANSMUTEX ABOUT TRANSMUTEX Transmutex […]
SPAN Electrifies Its Product Development and Safety with Jama Connect “By implementing Jama Connect, our teams are able to maintain transparency across stakeholders, streamline communication, and ensure alignment on project goals. This integrated approach reduces redundant efforts and helps accelerate product development cycles while maintaining compliance and quality standards,” – Arnaldo Arancibia, Senior Staff Systems […]
Build Better AECO Projects: Overcome Misalignment, Rework, and Scope Creep Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) projects are large, complex, and increasingly regulated. Yet many teams still manage owner requirements, design intent, and change decisions using disconnected documents, spreadsheets, and siloed repositories. The result is misalignment between stakeholders, costly rework, scope creep, and limited traceability […]
Requirements Elicitation: A Step-by-Step Approach to Defining the Right Requirements The success of any new product or project hinges on a simple, yet challenging task: collecting requirements. When done well in a carefully controlled process that lives up to the more aptly named eliciting requirements, it leads to a product or project that meets everyone’s […]
