The 5 Core Requirements of Effective Requirements Management.

In our experience, traditional RM tools require too much overhead to set up, provide too little value for the investment and quickly become an administrative nightmare to manage.   Jama Contour is opening new doors in requirements management by delivering on the five core requirements of an effective RM tool:

1. An effective RM tool should lighten the administrative burden, not increase it.

2. An effective RM tool should be people-centric, not document-centric.

3. An effective RM tool should be flexible to fit your process, not the other way around.

4. An effective RM tool should increase team communication through better collaboration.

5. An effective RM tool should help you achieve the 4 C’s of requirements management:  Capture, Connect, Control and Collaborate.

	... Alright! It's nice to finally see someone take a different approach to RM. I've been a PM for over 10 years, and curious to give Contour a test run and see what's under the hood.
