Siemens Polarion REQUIREMENTS helps teams gather, author, approve, validate and manage requirements for complex systems across project lifecycles. Its LiveDocs are structured online specification documents for working with requirements. Automatic change control supports traceability during development, while teams can reuse or branch information across sequential or parallel projects and product lines. Permissions can be assigned by role, user, project or group, with LDAP access supported. Customizable workflows and templates accommodate Agile, lean, traditional, hybrid, Scrum, Kanban, FDD and RUP methods; Siemens says they can support processes aligned with FDA, FAA, CMMI, ISO, IEC and SPICE standards. The product lists connectors for Jira, Azure DevOps, IBM DOORS, MATLAB Simulink, Teamcenter and Mendix, plus REST and web services APIs. Requirements can be exchanged through Word, Excel and ReqIF. Deployment options include customer-managed on-premise Polarion ALM and cloud-based Polarion X. Pricing is on request, and installation includes a 30-day evaluation license.
