Doors offers a nice platform for tracking requirements between products and product families. I use this to track both hardware and firmware requirements for complex manufacturing products. The trace-ability and decomposition it provides are nice for piece-wise workloads. It is easy to create document baselines for different releases and track changes as the product requirements become more defined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next? Doors program portal is like using microsoft word from 1998. There is no ability to zoom in or make text bigger. The interface to printing or even publishing a pdf is clunky and doesn't create simple documents. As a hardware electrical engineer we also like block diagrams and tables - the table and picture import functions are relatively poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next solving and how is that benefiting you? This tool is forcing our designers to talk about requirements and justify certain design specs that may have been overlooked. It's also great for multiple design iterations or tracking high-level requirements from the top to the bottom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
