Rational DOORS Next Generation is now developed on the IBM Jazz platform. The Jazz platform uses Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC).[6]
In order to complete its functionality, Rational DOORS has an open architecture that supports third-party plugins.

- You can manage changes to requirements with either a simple predefined change proposal system or a more thorough, customizable change control workflow through integration to Rational change management solutions.
- With the Requirements Interchange Format, you can directly involve suppliers and development partners in the development process.
- You can link requirements to design items, test plans, test cases, and other requirements for easy and powerful traceability.
- Business users, marketing, suppliers, systems engineers, and business analysts can collaborate directly through requirements discussions.
- Your testers can link requirements to test cases using the Test Tracking Toolkit for manual test environments.
- You can use the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) specifications for requirements management, change management, and quality management to integrate with systems and software lifecycle tools.
