6 REASONS WHY YOUR JIRA USERS WILL LOVE POLARION

Are your teams leveraging Jira for project management and issue tracking, and seeking an extra edge in complex product development? Siemens integrates Polarion seamlessly with Jira to supercharge your workflows and deliver unparalleled results! Building on insights from a recent Siemens blog post, we've distilled the top reasons why Polarion is becoming an indispensable tool for organizations already using Jira. It’s all about enhancing collaboration, ensuring compliance, and boosting efficiency without forcing your teams to abandon their familiar tools.

AUTOMATING CHECKS AFTER LAYOUT:
A PRACTICAL SHIFT FOR HARDWARE TEAMS

Check this Siemens EDA (Siemens Digital Industries Software) white paper by Todd Westerhoff about automated checks for high-speed PCB connections.

The core idea is simple: the last mile of verification slows projects, but automation can speed things up without replacing the engineers who know the work best. In plain terms: manual checks are slow and error-prone; automated checks can run overnight and give clear pass/fail results, with margins shown where it matters. The payoff is fewer last-minute crunches and more time for thoughtful design decisions. Beyond speed, smoother cross-team collaboration and clearer results matter.

PARTQUEST DESIGN ENABLEMENT: BRINGING DESIGN FORWARD

Modern electronics design doesn’t start in ECAD. It starts when an engineer begins exploring components online. In this video, follow Jennifer, an OEM hardware engineer, as she designs a classic memory game, starting not in her ECAD tool, but on a component manufacturer's website. Powered by PartQuest Design Enablement, she discovers interactive reference designs and smart documentation, runs in-browser simulations where she can change parameters, and evaluates sourcing… all before ever opening her schematic editor. 

PartQuest Design Enablement bridges the gap between early component exploration and formal engineering design, helping engineers move faster, while giving component manufacturers deeper engagement and insight. 

CLIENT QUESTION: HOW TO SET PRESENCE OF PARTS IN LAYOUT AND PART LISTING USING CONFIGURATION VARIABLES?

One of our customers recently asked how to include a component in the schematic that is not present in the layout but still appears in the part list. This is a common scenario, especially when dealing with off-board or optional components. Since this question comes up frequently, we decided to create a short video explaining the solution, in both PADS Pro and the Xpedition environment.
