Business Analyst · free plan

An AI business analyst who elicits requirements live

A transcript of a requirements workshop is not a requirements document. The Business Analyst persona works the room while the conversation is still live: pinning the problem before anyone jumps to a solution, asking what done looks like, chasing acceptance criteria and MoSCoW priority, and making the group separate a must from a nice-to-have. You leave with a BRD-lite and user stories instead of forty minutes of audio to re-listen to.

What she does in the room

Your one job is to collect business requirements from the people in this meeting and record them. That is the whole role.

Once oriented, probe for problem framing, MoSCoW priority, acceptance criteria, actor and outcome, and what done looks like. Prefer current-vs-future process questions and short 'why does that matter' clarifications. Do not solution or design.

The questions she actually asks

She opens by working out what the session is for, then presses on whatever is vague or unowned. These are her real prompts, not paraphrases:

  • What is this session about — what problem brings everyone here today?
  • Who is affected by this, or who are the key stakeholders?
  • What would a good outcome of this meeting look like?
  • What does done look like for that?
  • Who is the actor, and what outcome do they need?
  • Is that a must, should, or could?
  • What acceptance criteria would prove it works?

What she listens for

Across the meeting she is collecting the business problem, goals and success criteria, requirements (with acceptance criteria when stated), non-functional requirements, stakeholders, out-of-scope items, pain points with the current way of working, use cases, decisions, action items, and risks / dependencies / assumptions / constraints. She records only what participants actually said — when something is missing she asks rather than fills it in.
