The journey began in 2003 with a tool called 'ReqMgr' at 3SOfT GmbH. Over the years, it evolved through various iterations—ReqMgrNG, ReqM2, and Allosaurus—driven by the needs of the automotive industry for reliable requirement tracing. + +In 2016, Christoph Pirkl and Sebastian Bär decided to create a fresh, open-source start. They wanted to build a tool that was fast, easy to use, and integrated well with modern development workflows. Since then, OFT has grown into a robust suite used by engineers to manage requirements just like code. + +As we celebrate a decade of open-source development, we are also expanding our social presence.
