R4J overview

What is R4J?

R4J is an integrated requirements management solution for JIRA which allows all stakeholders to manage requirements directly within JIRA and collaborate throughout the whole product development lifecycle using key features such as flexible structuring, baseline and revisions, reading views, coverage analysis, traceability matrix, and more. Other features include custom requirements hierarchies, requirements change management, change impact analysis, and round-trip export/import with a MS Excel Add-On.

Key benefits of using R4J

  • Use suspect logic to identify if changes to an artefact affect downstream or upstream requirements.
  • Switch easily between details and the big picture, and expand or collapse tree entires for a clear structural overview.
  • The requirements traceability matrix tracks every issue and visualizes its relationships with other issues within JIRA, enabling users to identify missing relationships.
  • Configure rules for the reuse of requirements.
  • Work directly inside Microsoft Excel with the Excel add-in, and create 'one-click' exports and imports of all or a subset of requirements.
