Issue Management: Track, Resolve & Learn
Integrate issue tracking directly into product lifecycle workflows to boost quality and reduce delays
Why Integrated Issue Management Matters
Disconnected spreadsheets and standalone trackers hide context and slow down teams.
Embedding issue management in PLM provides complete traceability from issue to part, document, change, and release.
Teams collaborate faster, reduce rework, and make confident release decisions.
Full Traceability Across the Product Lifecycle
Link every issue to its related parts, documents, changes, and risks in a single connected environment.
Nora IPLM ensures that no issue exists in isolation, giving teams complete visibility from detection to resolution and helping them make faster, data-driven decisions.
Automated Workflows for Faster Resolution
Streamline investigations and approvals with configurable workflows that adapt to your process.
Automatic notifications, escalations, and progress tracking keep every stakeholder aligned, accelerating closure while maintaining quality and compliance.
