Describe the complete system
Connect system requirements, architecture, interfaces, components, and design outputs. Keep each team’s ownership visible.
For connected product teams
One product. More than one discipline.
Hardware, firmware, apps, and services all contribute to the product. Give their requirements, interfaces, risks, and verification a common record.

Exact revisions. Visible relationships.
A familiar problem
A component change can become a software change.
When a product crosses disciplines, a change rarely stays in one team’s backlog. A sensor substitution may affect calibration, firmware behavior, a supplier record, and the tests used to verify the system. The relationships matter as much as the individual documents.
Assess changes across boundaries
Follow typed relationships from the changed record to risks, tests, quality activities, and previously frozen baselines.
Release a defined configuration
Bring the applicable hardware, firmware, and software revisions into one baseline with the evidence used to review it.
An illustrative workflow
The product is the configuration
A connected instrument includes a sensor assembly, firmware, a mobile app, and a backend service. Its release record identifies the relevant revisions and their verification. When one part changes, the old release remains inspectable while the new configuration is reviewed.
