In order to perform administrative tasks on projects, ReqSuite® RM provides a project management via a corresponding item in the administration menu. In the context of ReqSuite® RM “projects” are data containers for e.g. real projects (with a clear start and end), long-lasting product development tasks or even standard / reuse catalogues.

For creating (“Add Project…” button), modifying (pencil icon), updating the underlying template (refresh icon), deleting (trash icon) projects, assigning users (user icon)or assigning interfaces (plug icon) ReqSuite® RM provides corresponding functionality via the “Projects” item in the administration menu (see Figure 1). When creating or editing a project, the administrator has the possibility to define a color and an icon of the respective project.

Since most of the functions are quite self-explanatory, they are not explained further here. The only topics that are explained in more detail are the available project roles and the data exchange between ReqSuite® RM and other tools such as JIRA, TFS, AzureDevOps, GitLab or ClickUp.

Important Note: Unlike other administration tasks, most project administration functions cannot only be performed by users in the basic user role “Administrator”, but also in the role “Basic User”, as long as these users have the project role “Project Manager” for the respective project.
