Requirements management
Our requirements engineering software offers handy features you’ll love – check out how our side-by-side comparison or the quality assurance feature make your life easier.
With storywise, structured RE and agile project management go hand in hand.
The features of our requirements engineering software allow you to stay agile: From priorities to estimations and linking dependencies, you’re free to shuffle things around as you need. We’re also working on including agile planning canvases into storywise for even more agility in the future.
Staying on top of changes with storywise’s versioning.
Whether it’s for software updates, implementing new features, or if you want to play around with ideas: versioning your specifications can be a real life-saver if you want to stay organized while working on different iterations of your project.
Everything at a glance: comparing two or more versions of your project has never been easier.
Whether it’s a comparison of different sets of features including their financial implications for your stakeholders, or a quick look at two possible versions of your software to evaluate the best UX – our side-by-side feature allows you to explore two or more different versions of your project at the same time to see which one works better.
Say goodbye to inconsistent, contradictory and unclear user stories.
Our AI-driven QA feature helps you avoid the most common mistakes in your specifications. When you start the quality assurance process, our AI combs through all your stories and makes sure they are up to standard: no more contradictory stories, missing information or problematic and duplicate stories.
Compatibility & cooperation
Ease of use is one of the key pillars of storywise. So forget having to remember yet another password and just use your Google log-in for your storywise account, let our software talk to your dev tools directly and more.
Reducing the potential for human error to the bare minimum.
Whatever you do in storywise, you can sync all your work to common tools such as Jira, YouTrack, DevOps and more. Add one more must-have to your tried and tested project management and dev tools and enjoy the easy compatibility that lets your tools do the talking without you having to translate.
Easily create quotes for your stakeholders, either with our template or by building your own.
Creating your own templates for quotes or customizing a quote for a client’s specific requirements has never been easier: Simply choose what to include or exclude in the quote and export it as a Word or PDF file. The clearly structured files will save you and the stakeholders using them lots of time and nerves.
Working together has never been easier.
Nowadays, collaboration is getting more and more important – which is why we made working together in storywise as easy as possible. Just add external users and let them work on your storywise project directly and use our Zapier integration for notification updates and much more.
For complex projects
If you don’t want to use our AI Assistant, our step-by-step wizard helps you make sense of and organize the mess that is often the start of the requirements engineering process.
Importing info from all kinds of sources with no prior “cleaning up” required.
From images to Miro boards, Figma projects, emails, meeting minutes to plain old .pdf or .txt files: our Setup Wizard automatically imports your data from all kinds of sources – no matter how messy – and turns them into a usable starting point for your software requirements.
AI-powered suggestion of epics, personas, stories and more.
storywise automatically extracts all the important info from your brief and suggests clear epics, personas, stories, tasks and acceptance criteria for your SRS document. All that’s left for you is checking the suggestions and making sure they align with what your project needs.
Making sure everything in your SRS document is accounted for.
When every user story can be traced back to the epic it originates from, and every epic can be traced back to info in the brief, everything in your SRS document has a reason for being included. This smart traceability feature also means that no requirement of the brief will be forgotten ever again.
Save time by reusing requirements from previous projects.
Similar projects have similar requirements – and thanks to our asset library, you can now reuse requirements, epics, stories, personas and even dependencies from previous projects. So you can focus on the more interesting, less repetitive parts of your software’s requirements.
AI as a feature
At storywise, AI is more than just a buzzword. We carefully evaluate what it can do for you and what it can’t – and only implement it in workflows where it actually adds value.
Our AI takes care of menial tasks that don’t require your human smarts.
From suggesting user stories, epics and personas to helping with your QA check – our AI takes care of the grunt work of the RE process so you can focus on the more interesting tasks. It is, after all, a tool to support you, not a thinking entity to replace you (here’s more on our approach to AI).
We don't force you to use our Al – or any Al, for that matter!
Whether it’s for security reasons, because of NDAs or simply because you don’t see the value in it: storywise doesn’t force you to use AI. You can disable it completely and use our software without it, you can use your own AI if you already have one trained for your needs (BYOAI), bring your own key (BYOK), or you can use our on-premise solution for complete control.
We follow the EU Al Act and always keep your human in the loop – for an Al you can trust.
You choose which of our integrated AI models you want to use. If data security is a priority for you, just choose one that’s based in the European Union to ensure all your data is processed and stored according to EU guidelines and standards. And the best thing? At storywise, AI doesn’t go rogue because we always keep the human in the loop.
