DocSheets

What DocSheets is

DocSheets is requirements and lifecycle management software for engineering teams that need to capture, trace, review, and report project requirements. Its multilevel traceability connects requirements with tests, risks, and other project artifacts, with trace and gap analysis and customizable reports. Teams can create baselines manually or automatically, lock documents, review change history, roll back changes, and use electronic signatures and access controls. Real-time collaborative editing includes concurrency control and support for work across time zones. Reporting includes traceability matrices, charts, filters, and grouping; a shared file repository and built-in Excel and RTF viewers and editors support file work. DocSheets provides REST API integration with tools such as JIRA and GitHub, along with Word import and spreadsheet or word-processor import and export. Supported import and export formats include Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, JSON, HTML, and PDF. Deployment options are cloud SaaS in a dedicated single-tenant environment or on premises. The product is available on iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web. There is no free plan, but a 60-day trial includes full feature access and requires no credit card. One-time plans start at $2,000 USD for five users.
