Why we partnered with a consultancy to break the "tool silo"

[#1]

As app vendors, we (Deviniti) know our code. But we don't always live in the trenches of ISO-compliant functional safety projects.

That’s why we recently partnered with HALready, a team of experts in functional safety and embedded systems. We wanted to see exactly where the friction points were in real-world projects.

What we learned

They shared a horror story that stuck with us: A client spent years building a product that worked perfectly and looked great, but couldn't be certified. The tech stack was unusable because the requirements weren't properly managed or traced.

This wasn't a failure of coding; it was a failure of alignment.

We realized that for complex projects, "Jira + Confluence" isn't always enough, but "Jira + External ALM" is too much friction.

We are working together to close the gap on functional safety within Jira.

The goal is a single toolchain where:

• Design decisions are linked to requirements.
• Risks are calculated alongside the code.
• Validation is transparent to everyone.

We believe the future of requirements management isn't about buying more tools; it's about better integration of the tools you already have.

Let's chat:

Have you ever experienced a project where "what was built" didn't match "what was required"? How did you catch it?
