The march of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Project Management continues. I wanted to learn if we can use it to write reliable User Requirements, as part of the Project Definition process. The answer is…

This is learning, so, sit back and enjoy

Can AI Really Write Your User Requirements?

Part 1: Requirements Gathering

Chris Rickard and I discuss:

  • Understanding the User Requirements and capturing them accurately is critical to the success of any project. What is the process for finding User Requirements?
  • Once you’ve captured requirements and had them signed off, is that it? Is Requirements Gathering a one-and-done process?
  • How can AI help in the process of capturing and recording customer or user requirements?

Part 2: Userdoc Demonstration

Chris demonstrates how Userdoc uses AI and how Userdoc captures and develops User requirements.

Part 3: Artificial Intelligence

  • How can an AI system really understand a process and what we need from it?
  • AI capability is changing fast. What would you hope to be able to do in future iterations?

Part 4: Getting in touch with Chris Rickard

  • Thank you, Chris. If people want to learn more about Userdoc, and give it a try for themselves, how can they do that? And, if they want to engage with you, what are the best ways they can do that?

Chris Rickard

Chris Rickard is a project manager and software engineer, who started a software development agency in 2012, and had to teach himself to be a project manager and business analyst, to successfully deliver his projects.

His agency delivered large, often 12-month or more projects. He found that requirements gathering and requirements management were the tasks that had the most impact on the success of a project.

After 8 years Chris’s agency was acquired, and he then focused on building a platform to help with requirements management. That platform is called Userdoc, and it makes effective use of AI to help businesses move faster.

That’s why I wanted to speak with him about whether AI can write your user requirements.

What Kit does a Project Manager Need?

I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list. I added my own.
