Introducing Violet Requirements

Revolutionizing Engineering Workflows: Introducing Violet Requirements

In the world of engineering, precision is everything. And when designing complex, safety-critical systems or ensuring triple-redundant performance, this is best achieved in managing requirements. But for too long, requirements management has been a slow, isolated and cumbersome process—one that struggles to keep up with the dynamic, data-driven demands of modern engineering.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Violet Requirements module, a tool that transforms how engineering teams define, manage, and verify requirements. By embedding requirements into the broader engineering workflows powered by Violet, this new feature doesn’t just streamline processes—it fundamentally changes how your team works.

‍

Why Requirements Have Been Holding Teams Back

Traditional requirements management tools often operate in silos, disconnected from the systems and data that teams rely on to design and build products. Requirements become static statements buried in spreadsheets or standalone platforms, divorced from the evolving context of real-time engineering work.

This disconnect creates inefficiencies and risks:

• Traceability challenges that lead to compliance issues.
• Manual workflows that slow teams down.
• Communication gaps between stakeholders that lead to critical failures.

When requirements aren’t part of the full engineering picture, teams spend more time managing static information than driving progress.

Violet Requirements: A New Approach

At Violet Labs, we believe requirements shouldn’t live in isolation. They should be actionable, traceable and dynamically connected to your engineering data and workflows.

Here’s how the Violet Requirements module makes that vision a reality:

1. Centralized, Dynamic Requirements Management Define requirements directly within Violet or ingest them from your existing tools like Jama, DOORS, Flow or Valispace. Once inside Violet, requirements become part of your integrated engineering ecosystem, linking seamlessly to your data and workflows.
2. Math- and Data-Aware Requirements Violet enables you to define requirements mathematically, linking them to real-time data from across your tech stack. For instance, a requirement like “Mass ≤ 450kg” can be continuously validated against live calculations, ensuring you’re always working with accurate, up-to-date information.
3. Integrated Verification Processes Requirements aren’t "done" once they've been defined— they need to be tracked fully through verification and validation. By connecting them to actual tests, inspections and analyses, Violet automates verification tracking, provides real-time metrics on verification status, and continuously surfaces results and test artifacts.
4. Effortless Traceability Violet generates a real-time traceability matrix, offering a complete view of your requirements and their relationships to data, tests, and program elements. No more scrambling to prepare for audits or chasing down information—everything you need is at your fingertips.

Setting Teams Apart with Violet

When requirements become a fully integrated part of your engineering workflows, the impact is transformative:

• Faster Time to Market: Automating V&V processes and eliminating manual reporting free up valuable engineering hours
• Reduced Risk: Real-time updates ensure that you’re always working with the most accurate data, reducing the likelihood of errors or compliance issues.
• Streamlined Collaboration: A shared platform aligns program managers, engineers, and compliance teams, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

By breaking down silos and linking requirements to live engineering data, Violet helps teams stay ahead of the competition while delivering higher-quality products.

A Real-World Difference

Consider a traditional engineering team managing hundreds to thousands of complex requirements for a new space mission. Traditionally, tracking these requirements would mean juggling separate tools, manually updating traceability matrices, and struggling to connect requirements with the data that validates them.

With Violet, this process is seamless:

• Requirements are dynamically linked to system properties, like propulsion system mass or temperature requirements.
• Verification tests are automatically tracked, with owners and results surfaced in real time.
• The traceability matrix updates instantly, giving program managers and auditors full visibility without extra effort.

This isn’t just better requirements management—it’s a smarter, faster way to build.

Why This Matters Now

Engineering is evolving, with teams under increasing pressure to deliver complex, compliant products faster than ever. In this environment, disconnected tools and manual processes that slow a program down are no longer just an inconvenience. They’re critical liabilities that threaten a program's ability to succeed.

Violet Labs is leading the charge to modernize engineering workflows, and the Requirements module is a cornerstone of that mission.
