What objectiF RPM is
objectiF RPM combines requirements engineering and project management in a client/server system with a central database. It supports classic, agile, and hybrid methods through Gantt charts, Kanban boards, backlogs, milestones, and resource planning. Teams can trace requirements and relationships through development, conduct review and test workflows, derive test cases, and manage risks including FMEA measures. Built-in AI assistants assess requirement understandability, identify similar requirements, and generate requirements or test cases. Interfaces include Jira, Azure DevOps, ReqIF, Microsoft Word, Excel, Project, Visio, and Active Directory, plus a REST API. Deployment can be on premises or in cloud setups such as AWS and Azure, using Windows or web clients. The maker offers a no-obligation 30-day trial, including an on-premises installation or ready web trial; the FAQ describes four-user SaaS access for one month without a credit card. Pricing is on request. The FAQ states there is no traceability matrix.
