Product requirements with Jama
What do you like best about the product?
Jama made creating product requirements simple. When you have a complex product and you need to work collaboratively with the team, you have one place to do it, virtually accessible from anywhere. It starts with a project and then you have a nice and friendly User Interface to add more: marketing/automotive/functional/business/high level requirements, all kinds of notes and many more, each of them with predefined template.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an admin of Jama Connect I am responsible with permissions also. The integration we have is with our local Active Directory but adding people from AD to Jama has to be one by one, there is no way in the current setup to go by user groups and make my life easier.
Our requirements for reporting (in any tool for that matter) are more complex than Jama can offer.
The cost of the tool is per user and we find it incovenient some time to manage the inactive users, just to make room for the new.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Jama Connect in our marketing department where they need a tool to help them build product requirements. They need collaboration, reviews, approvals on each individual item. Jama Connect seemed to be a good match and that was the reason why we selected it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for Jama Connect when you have a budget to spend and need a complex tool for managing non technical project requirements. You will get a nice user experience, an easy to use tool.
Jama - Mordern Requirements Management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Captures requirements efficiently, pretty good requirements traceability options, baseline requirements easily, different views available, AGile ready, version tracking, test cases development, detailed workflows for estimation and manage project schedule.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jama-JIRA connector was failing at times, training, FAQ material seems outdated, admins do not have enough permissions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used it to capture requirements and managed testing. The container model for managing requirements is both easy to understand and to use. You can track the requirements through different phases, backwards and forwards as well as dependencies across requirements.FAQs and user guide could have been more exhaustive. Will surely use Jama in my future projects.
Business Analyst using Jama for requirements in small IT company
What do you like best about the product?
After years of producing requirements in Word documents using track changes and versioning, there are several features of Jama that I really appreciate. My favorite feature, however, would have to be the review center. It is a nice, efficient way to share requirements, receive feedback, and compare versions of requirements. Everyone can participate in the review process and communicate with each other in an effort to finalize requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to search for something I felt strongly enough about to say I disliked it.... But I would say the rich text functionality seems a little limited and the use of tables within a rich text field is somewhat awkward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are capturing our business requirements for a new product, and we are very pleased with the improved efficiency and the ease of communication Jama provides us. Keeping everyone on the same page with requirements content and status plus having everything in one, easy to navigate repository has been very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If interested in an extremely configurable product to suit your process and development needs, regardless of the industry, I would highly recommend Jama because of the benefits it has provided our team. It has helped to increase our productivity and communication, and it has been embraced by our entire team.
Jama is a really good tool for managing requirements
What do you like best about the product?
Configurability of the system - state transitions, item relationships, directory/tree, form fields
Review center and how all the feedback history is captured in one place
Integration with Jira

What do you dislike about the product?
The price! It's probably the most expensive tool we have (cost/user license) so it is never a certainty that we'll keep renewing. Would like to see some flexibility on pricing depending on the features you use. We don't use the test case mgmt features at all, for example. Most products have pricing tiers and it would be nice to see Jama implement that.
I think the reqts management features are pretty strong. Our QA team didn't give the test case mgmt features the thumbs up. They chose Test Rail. So I lost the ability to connect reqts to test cases in one tool. I suggest looking at the test case and test plan features and make those stronger.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting requirements in one place, in a standard way.
Documenting feedback from stakeholders in one place.
I wanted one source of truth for requirements.
Avoid rework due to missed reqts.
Benefits
Rework due to missed reqts is down (haven't measured by how much though).
BAs are more consistent in how they manage reqts.
History of feedback saves time (discussions about why we did something or what the reqts were in the first place are reduced).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The change management involved in rolling out a tool like this was bigger than the effort to learn the tool. You need a proper project plan and a capable project manager to get all the internal stakeholders plus external contacts (reqts stakeholders) to buy in, get trained, use it properly, etc.
Indispensible to managing business and software requirements
What do you like best about the product?
The software is pretty robust. We have experienced few problems, and when we do, they have top-notch Level 1 and Level 2 support; also because we are an international company, the fact that the have EU support, etc. is also quite helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the Jama community is an excellent way to ask questions and suggest "enhancements," I think some are a bit slow to come to market. For example, easier ways to make MS-Word output and Jama perform more seamlessley.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great flexibility and a way to track and integrate sofware and business needs.
Easy to Use Platform which has proven benefical to the business for years
What do you like best about the product?
I like the permissions structure, which is straightforward and easy for users to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more administrative functions to help determine if a Jama project is still active. Maybe reminders to project/content owners to update/archive content/projects.
Also a tool to help with inactive users to help manage licenses would be great.
