Requirements and work items
Manage system, software, hardware, test, issue, and change items with owners, status, priority, and review flow.
ALM System
KDP Library
Bring requirements, specifications, verification, reviews, and delivery evidence into one ALM workspace so product development becomes traceable engineering work instead of scattered documents.
An engineering workspace, not a document repository
KDP Library helps teams manage product requirements, design decisions, test results, review records, and delivery documents. It can work with existing engineering processes instead of forcing a new process model. The goal is to turn information scattered across documents, spreadsheets, emails, and meetings into traceable, reviewable, searchable engineering data.
Requirements and documents together
Requirements, specifications, design notes, and test evidence are managed together instead of drifting apart.
End-to-end traceability
Connect requirements, design, implementation, tests, reviews, and evidence for engineering checks, customer responses, and audits.
Reviews and baselines
Manage versions, states, approvals, and baselines so every delivery has a clear data snapshot.
Configurable ALM platform
Adapt fields, workflows, document templates, and dashboards for different products and teams.
Product Capabilities
KDP Library focuses on ALM fundamentals: engineering data that can be created, linked, reviewed, queried, and delivered.
Document collaboration
Keep specifications, design documents, test reports, and review records in one controlled workspace.
Traceability matrix
Create bidirectional links across requirements, design, tests, risks, and evidence to identify coverage and impact.
Review and evidence management
Preserve review history, approval records, attachments, and evidence chains for customer and internal review.
Dashboards
Track progress, pending reviews, traceability gaps, and risk status by project, product line, or delivery stage.
Cross-team collaboration
Let system, software, hardware, test, quality, and supplier roles collaborate on the same engineering data.
Typical Workflow
KDP Library does not replace engineering judgment. It records the engineering decisions and links behind that judgment.
1
Create a project workspace
Set up roles, item types, workflows, document templates, and base fields for a product or ECU program.
2
Organize requirements and specs
Import or create requirements, system specs, interface specs, and design documents with owners and review states.
3
Link design and verification
Connect requirements to design items, test cases, results, issues, and evidence.
4
Review and deliver
Check traceability coverage, review status, and evidence completeness before creating a baseline and delivery package.
Where It Fits
KDP Library can start from one project and expand into an organization-level ALM platform.
Automotive ECU programs
Manage requirements, specifications, tests, and delivery data for VCU, BCM, EVCC, TBOX, and related controllers.
Hardware and software co-development
Give system, software, hardware, and test teams one traceability model to collaborate around.
Customer review and audit preparation
Prepare requirement coverage, test evidence, review records, and baselines without late manual assembly.
Digitizing existing processes
Move engineering data from spreadsheets, documents, shared folders, and emails into an ALM workspace step by step.
Product Interface
The following views show how KDP Library presents project status, engineering items, document editing, traceability coverage, and collaboration.
Project Dashboard
Track requirements, review status, traceability coverage, recent activity, and project risk.
Engineering Items
Manage requirements, tests, risks, issues, and evidence with filters, state tracking, and quick creation.
Document Workspace
Reference structured engineering data inside documents to reduce inconsistency.
Traceability Coverage
Inspect links across requirements, design, tests, and evidence to find gaps and impact.
Collaboration Portal
Let internal and external collaborators submit data, respond to issues, and track delivery status.
Engineering Work Supported
KDP Library is not a dedicated system for one standard. It is an ALM platform that supports automotive and embedded engineering management needs.
Requirements management, change management, issue tracking, and review workflows
Traceability across system, software, hardware, and test data
Evidence organization for ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155 / R156, and related reviews
Customer reviews, internal audits, supplier collaboration, and delivery preparation
FAQ
Is KDP Library a document management system?
Not only. It manages requirements, work items, traceability, review records, baselines, and delivery evidence for engineering workflows.
Do we need to adopt everything at once?
No. Teams can start with one product line, one project, or one data type such as requirement-test traceability, then expand gradually.
How is it different from Polarion / Jama / DOORS?
KDP Library is closer to automotive and embedded delivery work, combining documents, work items, evidence, and traceability instead of only providing an empty requirements database.
Can it coexist with existing tools?
Yes. KDP Library can act as the ALM workspace while gradually absorbing existing spreadsheets, documents, test reports, issues, and engineering data.
Turn engineering data into manageable ALM assets
KDP Library is designed for automotive and embedded teams that want to systematize requirements, specifications, tests, reviews, and delivery evidence.
