IBM DOORS was the de facto standard for Enterprise Requirements Management for many years, but is now out-of-date. In this new era, software development projects demand lighter-weight user interfaces, worldwide simultaneous reuse, and development methods beyond its capability.
The Polarion Survival Kit for DOORS gives you a clear path forward:
Join Corbinsoft for an introductory look into how program teams and application teams get started with a fresh approach to ALM. Give us 60 minutes and we'll show you a live demonstration and discussion covering every step of the transition — from initial module mapping through to full end-to-end traceability in Polarion.
Yes. The migration process maps DOORS Modules directly to Polarion LiveDocs, preserving all traceability links, baselines, and compliance artifacts. The approach is incremental — you can extend or replace DOORS on your schedule without disrupting ongoing projects.
LiveDocs are Polarion's document-centric view of work items — they provide the familiar document structure that DOORS users expect, but with full editing, review, and collaboration capabilities built in. Unlike DOORS Modules, LiveDocs are natively integrated with test management, change tracking, and Agile planning.
Timeline varies by project complexity, but the approach is designed to be incremental and low-risk. Initial module mapping and proof-of-concept can be completed in weeks, with full migration executed in phases. Corbinsoft has delivered 20+ successful DOORS transitions across aerospace, automotive, and medical device industries.
