When analyzing your process, consider the following:
- Solidify the scope of the process to be supported by Jama Connect® (at least for initial deployment).
- Align capabilities and use of Jama Connect® with procedures for executing the in-scope process.
- Identify gaps between the process and the recommended use of Jama Connect® (as defined in the provided dataset).
- Determine (and justify) configuration needs for tighter alignment between the process and Jama Connect®.
- Review your desired process and the goals documented in your onboarding materials to determine your deployment's current scope and focus. You may take a phased approach to tackle specific needs or opportunities by priority (e.g., phase 1 for Requirements and Tests, phase 2 for Risk Management, phase 3 for Integrations, etc).
- Based on the scope of your deployment, review the recommended procedures and configuration of Jama Connect® for your industry. If you do not have an industry-specific dataset provided, review the available datasets in your Jama Connect® instance to determine which best aligns with your needs.
- You may identify gaps between the artifacts and content captured today and the recommended configuration of Jama Connect®; analyze these gaps to determine if the configuration of Jama Connect® is required to fill the gap for tighter process alignment. We recommend explaining why configuration needs are needed, especially if you are using a Jama Software® provided industry-specific dataset.
As shown below, an analysis of your process serves as input for your Jama Connect® Administrator tasked with configuring Jama Connect® to align with the process.
