Get started quickly and easily
in-STEP BLUE and the V-Modell XT improve the quality of your development results substantially. At the beginning of the project, just use the in-STEP BLUE tailoring assistant for tailoring.

Transparent and secure
For software and system creation, the V-Modell XT places a great focus on the product to be created and the quality of this product. And that’s precisely why in-STEP BLUE offers a product planning assistant and a quality assurance assistant. That way you can better calculate and control the development or operation of your system. And the consistent description and definition of the terminology increases the project participants’ understanding. More transparency, less loss of friction in V-Modell XT project management and better communication with the contractor or the client and within the project team is the result.
Successfully reach your goal
For the success of your V-Modell XT project, handling requirements, changes and tests is very important. Managing requirements means knowing at any time which requirements are in which state. Changes also belong to the day-to-day of a project. Managing a project in the planned time with the planned expenses successfully always means structured and controlled work with requirements. So it’s good that in-STEP BLUE keeps your requirements, changes and tests under control at all times. Because in-STEP BLUE is the software for all tasks and all content in your V-Modell XT project.
V-Modell XT for the whole team
Supporting the work of every employee with a common software. The V-Modell XT makes sense.
600 page documents – does it have to be like that?
Do you have to read the 600-page V-Modell XT documentation? The authors of the V-Modell XT recommend reading the first 70 pages to understand the basic concepts. But with in-STEP BLUE you can save most project participants from this effort, because the software supports employees with their concrete work in a V-Modell XT project. With templates, notifications, clear structures and personalized views. And when in doubt, you can navigate to the online documentation in one click. With all this, the tool obviously provides more than the well-known V-Modell XT project assistant.
Employees with different tasks
V-Modell XT recognizes 35 different roles. From canvasser, to the tester, the requirements analyst, the quality manager or the technical author. Of course, each role has other tasks. And? An employee needs the right information at the right time to do their daily tasks. So it’s good that in-STEP BLUE makes sure that every employee can easily finish their tasks. Tailored to their role and their tasks. With the necessary work tools, right at their workplace.
Who did what when?
With in-STEP BLUE, you have great project control because you work with both the V-Modell XT and with your established methods. There is a range of sophisticated roles, rights and view concepts available. Who did what, which relationships are there between individual elements and which relationships do they have to one another and who has access to what data – such questions should be easy to answer.
Changes under control at all times
Content changes. New requirements are added over the course of the project, changes result, versions of documents, test cases or risks arise. With in-STEP BLUE your information is versioned automatically. Without additional effort. In a common software. You can understand differences easily. At the press of a button.
