Cradle is a complete multi-user solution to manage, trace and document all data in your agile, and phase-based projects.
Capture information from external documents and tools, and track changes. You can build new sets of requirements, analysis, architecture and design models, tests or verifications, and link them to the source data and to each other. Check the consistency and quality of this information, and prove the integrity of the models and other data with bi-directional coverage and traceability analyses.
Customers’ confidence can be raised with proof that your work satisfies its sources and constraints, and will meet their needs.
Easily track progress with metrics and KPIs and link to your WBS and actual progress to your project planning tools.
Manage users’ work with user-defined CM, workflows and access controls, and multi-team collaboration and discussions.
Cradle is a complete product range, from single-user requirements management to enterprise scale, multi-user collaborative environments. All are fully compatible with each other, sharing their architecture, database and I/O formats. You can start with a single-user tool and migrate to the multi-user Cradle Enterprise product, seamlessly and easily.
