We are using JAMA Connect to track our requirements coming from Customer Requirements to our System Requirements and gather all Problems and Changes in development of Car Displays with it. We use it to get proof to our customers of following up on our tests and problem reports. This in conjunction with automated testing and integration of these tests with JAMA.
  • Tracking of issues related to requirements is easy.
  • Storing test results through the API into defined tests
  • Ease of use and understanding for end-users
Cons
  • Moving from Projects to Programs, were a program contains several projects. In the car industry you have a program which contains several projects (left/right side driving, with or without touch etc.) Still the same program.
  • Login to simple no 2-factor authentication possible
  • Login has no end-date so no warning of expiration-date on password.
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 has been invaluable to our organization as a common place to host our product's specifications (user needs, system and module requirements, system interface), testing (test cases and traceability), as well as risk management documentation. All of our recent projects make use of Jama Connect and is used by the majority of our engineers.
  • Traceability from user needs to system requirements, system requirements to system tests and module requirements, module requirements to module tests
  • Ability to create and define items and relationships to enable custom workflows
  • Versioning, keeping track of changes, and locking items
Cons
  • Easy way to add comments for each change in the items
  • Cross-project linkage and ability to share items between projects
  • Easy way to create custom templates
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!

We use JAMA for requirements management. We required a database to manage the entire requirements lifecycle, from introduction to decommissioning. It is used mainly for security-related requirements. We have a dedicated team to work with the requirements and publish them using the Agile release management process.
  • Requirement management.
  • Cloud deployment.
  • Automated user provisioning.
Cons
  • Faster response time from support.
  • Integrations with Sharepoint.
JAMA is the solution for you whenever you would like to manage requirements.

Jama is used for Requirements Management and Test Plan Management across a few different Business Units in the company I work for. While we've had a fairly long-term relationship with Jama (~8 years), we've only fairly recently adopted it broadly in the organization. Matters involving 'coverage' and 'traceability' have been a long-running concern in our development work and it is on these fronts that we want Jama to improve this for us.
  • Getting Requirements "nailed down." The 'Review Center' is very popular with our users.
Cons
  • The 'filtering' capabilities in Jama are not as good as they could be. In particular, the ability to "nest" filters is quite limited. I have certain seen much better capabilities in other tools. ('Cradle' is an example of a tool with excellent "nested filters" capabilities.)
  • From an administrative point of view, the 'License' admin view is pretty disappointing. The particular thing that I'd like to be able to find out from it is the peak number of 'Float Creator' licenses in concurrent use on each day. If there's a way to get to that information, I haven't found it yet.
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!
