Use DocMiner to create JIRA issues from within the documents directly and relate them to any text paragraph or image.

DocMiner guarantees the traceability between JIRA and the requirements (or any other issue type) in the documents, automatically opens the right version of the document and scrolls to the requirement from within JIRA. It also can compare documents snapshots, show the differences between them in a synchronized way, see how the changes impact on your current JIRA issues and import these issues (requirements) from the older versions to the newer if you want to consolidate all your requirements spread among several document versions into a single major requirement document version.

Bored in a useless meeting? Don't worry, DocMiner works in the go, therefore you can use your smartphone to capture requirements from documents and assign them to developers and track the progress on JIRA from the document itself in your smartphone, from everywhere and at any time.

DocMiner provides a lot of contextual information to developers when they open the issue on JIRA as it is able to provide bi-directional traceability from documents to JIRA issue and vice-versa. Hence, furthermore traceabilty it also improves collaboration and is the perfect companion for the document analysis, review, development and testing stages.

If you are using Atlassian Confluence or whatever Wiiki tool  as a distributed document editor (Wiki) to collaborate in the content creation phase you have to take an snapshot of your requirements by exporting them from into a PDF file, create a version on a document repository (like Subversion) to track changes between those snapshots (snapshot1, snapshot2,...). If you are using MS SharePoint, DocMiner provides built-in document browser. All versions of MS Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint, among many other formats like ODF from OpenOffice.
