How to Elicit, Write, and Analyze Requirements in the AI Era

About this course

IWho Needs Requirements, Anyway?Here is a question worth sitting with: if AI can now write requirements, analyze documents, interview stakeholders, and generate user stories in seconds, why are you here?Because AI does not replace the need for good requirements.

You will learn how to identify the right stakeholders, ask the right questions, and extract requirements from documents, interviews, surveys, observations, and workshops. AI tools will help you accelerate each of these techniques, but the elicitation judgment stays with you.Requirements validation. You will learn a four-step validation framework for catching defective requirements before they enter development, whether they came from a stakeholder conversation, your own drafting, or an AI tool. The standard does not change based on the so
