Lighthouse: Document Management

Why Use Lighthouse to Manage your Documents?

Every project produces a variety of documents - project plans, design, functional and technical architectures, test plans, screen shots, user guides and more. How do you keep them straight?

Lighthouse Document Management provides a single repository to store all project documents, eliminating the risks of having everything on the Project Manager's computer. Unlike a shared network drive, Lighthouse allows you to link documents to requirements, defects, test cycles, change requests or any other object in the database.

Find the documents you need when you need them with Lighthouse.
