About SpiraPlan

SpiraPlan is a complete Program and Portfolio Management System in one package, that manages your programs, portfolios, requirements, releases, tasks, bugs/issues, baselining, documents and risks in one place. Fully web-based and enterprise-ready.

SpiraPlan is an open platform that can connect to your existing source code repositories and integrate with the tools already used by your developers. The platform provides integrated dashboards of key project health, status information, project progress, and risk indicators - task progress, effort slippage, project velocity, task burndown/burnup, top risk, and issues – in one consolidated view that is tailor-made for agile methodologies as well as supporting your legacy/hybrid waterfall projects. SpiraPlan's Agile Planning Board is perfect for team meetings with color-coding and simple drag-and-drop editing.

SpiraPlan has been designed specifically to support agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, XP, Scrum, DSDM and AUP, allowing teams to manage all their information in one environment.

SpiraPlan comes with over 60 integration and 30 migration tools making your change management so much more manageable.

Collaborating project with our technical department is smoother with SpiraPlan. Both department has fully understand this software capabilities which make us know where the limit and can properly planning for project without problem and miscommunication.

Pros

Every feature and tools that are much needed to planning a project either for small project and larger project is available to be use within this software. Selection for type of service and tools that can be integrated is quite huge and cover all the tools that we use. Planning board can be drag, drop and duplicate across the project list.

Cons

The report generated is not as extensive is it should, some details are not readily included and no customization to the report seem can be done. Manual testing is slow to load all the resource and i had to restart the whole process again to properly load all the related resource. Other than that, everything is working as it supposed.

We used a maintenance release for one of our medical devices as a trial. Spira allowed very easy control of Requirements and Test artifacts and especially traceability and traceability reporting, which is vital for e.g. the FDA submissions.

Pros

* Easy to set up (meaning the project templates, users, customizable fields, etc.)
* Very good integration possibilities with other tools
* Attractive GUI
* Great customization possibilities for reports
* REST API available and well documented

Cons

* Support for reviews is a bit rudimentary - this is, IMO, the weakest part of the tool. We'd prefer to have the possibility to submit sets of artifacts for review, defined review groups, and allow adding Approvals and Discussion threads (similar to e.g. Gitlab)
