Four Pillars of BRMS

BRMS is structured around authoring quality requirements, governing controlled change, verifying evidence and coverage, and integrating with external toolchains.

Author

Create Structured Requirements

Capture and refine work items in a controlled, collaborative workspace.

Work item authoring with history, comments, and watch status
Relationship linking and traceability browsing across specs and work items
Project/variant context to support multi-product engineering

Govern

Control Change and Access

Define how work flows and who can approve, edit, and administer each area.

Configurable ontology: types, groups, statuses, transitions, and allowed links
Roles, permissions, and user groups with project-scoped controls
Baselines for snapshot and locked-view governance

Verify

Prove Readiness with Evidence

Surface coverage and impact signals so teams can make release decisions with confidence.

Verification coverage, change impact, and evidence dashboards
Artifact review workflows with revision comments and status transitions
Historical artifact restore and commit log visibility

Integrate

Exchange Data Across Toolchains

Move information in and out without losing structure or review context.

Excel and ReqIF import/export with preview and validation
Round-trip import support including revised import files
Local and Microsoft sign-in options for organization-managed access
