“Polarion review by Global Product Manager”

5.0
Dec 2, 2024
The issues solved by Polarion were great. It is an effective tool for requirement management as an Application Lifecycle management tool. As a Product manager had to collect voices and it helped with L1 and L2 approvals and conversion of voices to requirements and further requirements to test cases and test runs assisting the overall PDP process for the new product development. Walk me feature was a great addition.

    Exploring Polarion's Roll in Streamlined Product Development Workflows

    4.0
    Jul 3, 2024
    Overall, using Polarion for Automotive and Non-Automotive product development feels smooth. This helps me perform my day-to-day activities with ease without the need to worry about all the details. There are a lot of areas for improvement in the tool itself, but it helps perform the task with ease. For example: In the case of Automotive Product development, the tool provides all the necessary workflows and fields that can be taken directly out of the box into implementation. This will help meet the certification needs for Automotive Products. Another example of a Non-Automotive product. Now in this case, the tools don't come in the way of providing the necessary fields and can be customized to avoid many processes related elements.
