Get Started with Requirements Today
Turn spreadsheets and documents into structured requirements, and share them with your whole team.
Build the Backbone of Your Project
Connect requirements to designs and verification, so every change stays traceable as your project grows.
Delegate the Busywork to AI Agents
Let the Engineering Assistant format, check, and link requirements. Nothing is committed without your approval.
Built for Engineers Developing Hardware
Create a shared view of requirements your whole team uses — not just requirements experts.
Requirements Owners
Import your product, system, and engineering requirements from spreadsheets and documents, and organize them into projects and specifications. Share them with everyone involved, so they know what applies to their work.
Start in Minutes and Scale as You Grow
Keep Your Team Always Aligned
Systems Engineers
Get the structure and traceability to manage complex projects, without the overhead. Let AI Engineering Assistant flag contradictions, gaps, and untestable requirements for you to review, so you spend time on engineering decisions, not admin.
Delegate Busywork to AI Agents
Reach the Best Spec Faster
Implementation Engineers
Understand what applies to your work without reading the full spec, and view requirements directly in your design tool without switching. Link requirements to schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM components to trace design decisions, and get notified when something changes.
Link Requirements to Your Design
Understand What Affects Your Work
Technical Product Leadership
Get full visibility into project scope and alignment across every team and stakeholder. Stay on top of status and risks without chasing engineers for updates, so you can catch issues early, iterate faster, and ship with confidence.

Core Requirements Management Capabilities
Everything engineers need to manage requirements, verification, and traceability — in one workspace.
Capture & Share Engineering Requirements
Replace requirements scattered across notes, documents, and disconnected tools with a shared requirements workspace. Give all engineers and stakeholders access to current requirements so they can make confident design decisions and iterate faster.
Delegate Busywork to AI Agents
Hand off requirements formatting, review, breakdown, and verification planning to AI agents, so you get structured requirements from day one without the overhead. Nothing changes without your approval.
Work With Requirements in Your ECAD Platform
Link requirements to your electronics project and view them directly alongside your schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM components. Know what's affected when something changes.
Plan & Track Verification and Testing
Define verification methods, create test cases and procedures, and capture evidence in the same tool. Requirements stay connected to test or review that verified them, so coverage gaps are caught before they become mistakes.
From Scattered Specs to a Shared Mental Model
Requirements Portal replaces manual admin with a shared workspace that keeps your team aligned.
Old Way
Requirements live in scattered spreadsheets, notes, and disconnected tools. Teams lose alignment, tracking changes is manual and error-prone, and admin work eats into engineering time.
New Way
Requirements Portal gives your team a shared, connected workspace with built-in traceability and an Engineering Assistant that reduces busywork so you can focus on engineering.
Why Teams Choose Requirements Portal
More flexible than traditional requirements systems. More scalable than documents and spreadsheets.
“The ROI is FAST. We design three to five products a month, and reprints can easily increase our costs by 40%. Requirements Portal has saved us a lot of downtime in production. We basically got our value back in a couple of months.”
“The introduction of the Requirements Portal helps the UX-Group to always keep track of the fast changing requirements during the development process of our products. The integration into Altium is also a huge improvement for our review process during the hardware development and helps to shorten it noticeably.”
“We've found Altium's Requirements Portal to be a game-changer in our product development process. The structured approach to documenting requirements has streamlined our workflow, making it easier to manage and organize project specifications effectively. Working with requirements is both productive and enjoyable!”
“Requirements Portal has been an instrumental tool, allowing us to gather all-level requirements in one database and ensure full traceability throughout the project's life. Its ease of use, flexibility and scalability are features we really enjoy.”
