Announcements

This release adds the ability to import and export from any location in a project, improves interoperability with tools like IBM DOORS, enhances ease of use in core workflows and sees an order of magnitude improvements in application performance.

This weekend we deployed a fix to the cloud for the Chrome update that caused the Stream to be unavailable to some users.

Customers hosting Jama Connect on their own servers can contact Jama support for a workaround that will enable the Stream to function as expected.

The latest update to the Chrome browser, 79.0.3945.79, may render the comment stream inaccessible to users. We recommend not updating to the latest Chrome, and using FireFox or Internet Explorer if affected. This issue impacts Chrome and Chromium-based Edge browsers. We are actively investigating the impact of this issue and a path to resolution.

Now available with some exciting new enhancements across the platform!

We are excited to provide you new resources to help you navigate our updated Review Center!

Please join us at our second-annual user conference, JamaCon Europe, taking place on December 5th in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This one-day event will be packed with prominent guest speakers, hands-on workshops, user group discussions, and networking. Check out the agenda and register here.
