Getting started in 5 minutes

1. Create your account and start a 7-day trial.
2. Name your workspace and invite collaborators within plan limits.
3. Create your first project from Blank, Regulated, or Industrial template.
4. Create requirement REQ-001 with auditable acceptance intent.
5. Create or generate first specification and verify requirement linkage.
6. Open traceability view and export evidence if your plan includes export.

Upgrade triggers

If a feature is gated (AI generation, Jira import, xUnit scan, advanced exports, API/webhooks), SDD shows the required plan and a direct upgrade path.

Issue links and duplicates

Open any issue, switch to the Links tab, and model DependsOn, DuplicateOf, or RelatedTo.

Use DuplicateOf to keep duplicate tickets visible while pointing to one canonical issue. Read the full workflow in the Ticket links guide.
