I made a post about a year ago on our Product Management Insights blog saying that Accompa works well on Macs.

Just cross-posting it on this blog too, as we’ve some received some inquiries from readers of this blog about whether our Accompa Requirements Management Software works well on Macs.

Just to reiterate the other post’s message: I’m a Mac user myself, and I’m happy to let you know Accompa is 100% compatible with Mac! 🙂

This is because Accompa is not only 100% cloud-based, it is also 100% based on HTML and related standards. And, it is *NOT* dependent on 3rd party plugins like Flash, Java, etc. Nor is it dependent on features specific to Internet Explorer or Chrome – like some apps these days.

This means, our requirements management software is fully (as in 100%) functional on Mac – and works on all major browsers: Firefox (my favorite browser), Chrome, and Safari.

So, if your team needs a requirements software and has people who use a Mac, Accompa may be a good fit. Of course, Accompa also works well on Windows, on all major browsers: Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer. If you’d like to find out whether Accompa can help your team – check out our product tour or request free trial.

I’m writing this post to provide a shortlist of requirements management tools – i.e. tools to capture and manage requirements for your projects/products in a structured, collaborative fashion.

There are a large number of requirements tools available in the market, too large to fit into any list like this! So, this post will focus only on tools I personally have good experience with, or have heard very good things from close friends in the industry…

I’m often asked “Are there any free, open source requirements management tools?”

This question is often asked by friends whose companies are using tools like Word, wikis or bug trackers to manage requirements.

In this post, I will list a few free requirements management software tools – and discuss the pros and cons of such tools. [Read more…]
