Cockpit includes complete access control, revision control, approval processing, and change notification. Any connection between requirements, voices, risks, and tests can be followed by simply clicking on the hyperlink shown in the web interface. Any type of file or document can be associated with an item in the system.  Documents are stored either inside the Cockpit database or as a link to the corporate document management system.  Finally, Cockpit enables global collaboration by providing a product requirements framework that will be voluntarily used by everyone. Let Cognition Cockpit™ help you take requirements management to the next level.

Gone are the days when requirements management was a text based process based on spreadsheets and word processing documents. Cockpit’s Active Requirements Management approach combines the process of Critical Parameter Management (CPM) with Requirements Management to manage project risks, performance, and cost as well as requirements and voices. The concept of Active Requirements Management is simple: define each requirement (and specification) in the most appropriate way for its needs. A requirement might be numerical, analytically defined, pass-fail, date dependent, or even simple text. Only Cognition Cockpit gives you the flexibility to define your requirements in so many ways. Add to that the ability to create real time transfer functions and you now have a web based requirements management system that tells you:
- Clear target requirements, including type of requirement and type of target
- Current satisfaction status for each requirement: Is it meeting its target?
- Current margin or variation: Exactly how good or bad is it?
- Predicted future satisfaction: Is there a plan? When will it meet its target?
- Completion status: How much of the work of this requirement is complete?
Cognition Cockpit is a tool people will want to use
for up to the minute information about their system.

It is simple and intuitive for casual users.
