Jama Software joins the AI Tech Sales portfolio as the requirements and Live Traceability™ layer of [EDA 3.0](https://www.ai-techsales.com/what-is-EDA-3.0?hsLang=en) — the spine that carries intent from the first stakeholder need all the way to yield.

Almost all of the industry's tooling lives in architecture, RTL, verification, and physical design. Layer 1 — what the chip is supposed to do, for whom, and how we'll prove it — still lives in Word, Excel, and PDF for most teams. At modern SoC scale, a requirement that can't keep up with the design isn't a record. It's a risk. Jama Connect makes that layer live — and it's now the de facto requirements-management solution across the global semiconductor industry.

The category #### Live Traceability™ Complete, current upstream and downstream context for any requirement — across every siloed tool and team. Suspect-link management surfaces the blast radius of every change as it happens. Purpose-built · Dec 2025 #### [Jama Connect for Semiconductors ↗](https://www.jamasoftware.com/solutions/semiconductor/) Pre-configured for fabless companies and IDMs, with a procedure guide from stakeholder MRDs and system-level PRDs through validation and verification. Trust earned the hard way #### Functional Safety Pre-built frameworks for ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304; TÜV SÜD qualification; a Functional Safety Kit so teams start compliant instead of from an empty template. Where your engineers already work #### Best-of-breed integrations Requirements stay live across Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Excel — and extend upstream into EDA and verification tools instead of bolting on at the end. The AI-native turn #### The product context layer The curated, traceable source of truth that makes LLM-assisted engineering trustworthy instead of plausible. AI requirements and test cases are only as good as the context beneath them. From spreadsheet to spine #### Item-based, not document-based Every requirement is an item, every relationship a link, every change tracked the instant it happens. A single source of truth that keeps pace with the design. Where it sits in [EDA 3.0](https://www.ai-techsales.com/what-is-EDA-3.0?hsLang=en) ## Layer 1: the anchor for the whole thread. [EDA 3.0](https://www.ai-techsales.com/what-is-EDA-3.0?hsLang=en) is AI-native lifecycle orchestration from intent to yield, across six layers. Jama Connect anchors Layer 1 — and because it keeps requirements connected to everything downstream, it's the layer that makes the other five legible to one another. - **L1 · Intent & Requirements — Jama Connect**The living source of intent. Stakeholder needs, safety and security overlays, and the traceable thread that ties them to design and test. - **L2–L5 · Architecture → Yield**Every decision downstream stays linked to the intent that justified it. A change anywhere surfaces everywhere — before it becomes a respin. - **L6 · AI Orchestration**AI that can finally trust its context, because the context is curated, current, and traceable rather than scraped from stale documents.
