If you’ve been working in the Projects space for any length of time, you’ll know how important business requirements are. The challenge, however, is eliciting these
Missed business requirements are a substantial risk to any Project
To get input from all required stakeholders, we need to facilitate and schedule requirement workshops
You are ready to have the workshop, but one of the must-have attendees is not available until next week – and cannot send a delegate. What can you do? (nothing)
Everyone is busy. The stakeholder who can make or break your requirements? They got called away for a Production issue 5 minutes before the workshop
Passion is good. But some stakeholders use the workshop as a vehicle to push their own agenda – taking the workshop off-course with attempts to add unrelated scope
Someone mentions an out of scope item – people helpfully jump in to expand on the discussion. It takes times to close it down and bring everyone back on track
The one person who gets an invite “just incase” and has a notebook titled “things to say in workshops to appear valuable” distracts the conversation with a very broad, rhetorical question
Taking time to repeat to the person that was not listening at the start, or joined late, that a very obvious out of scope item is out of scope
Imagine knowing the ‘no brainer’ requirements that everyone agrees on before walking in to the Workshop.
You would recap these briefly, before moving on to the more important topics
Imagine knowing the Business Units and attendees with conflicting requirements in advance of the discussion.
You would bring additional supporting data with you to support their expected debate.
Imagine being a ‘nice to have’ attendee who still has some important points to contribute.
Imagine being able to make those points and also not attend.
What would you do with the extra time?
No more searching through OneNote for evidence.
No more trying to find the meeting in Outlook to query with Co-Pilot why a specific requirement was discussed.
Imagine a single tool that held everything documented.
YOUR STAKEHOLDER
JESSICA
Now you have ten different chat extracts to sort through, right? Wrong.
Jessica examines all of the interviews in bulk.
Multiple stakeholders have said the same requirement? You will receive one requirement, with a count of how popular it is and the details of who has said it.
Conflicting requirements? Let’s highlight those front-and-centre so you can tackle them first on the agenda in the Workshop.
Jessica even converts requirements into formal language
Those questions about scope that de-rail your Workshop? they now take place in the AI interview

No. Jessica is a tool designed to remove friction, not replace human expertise. It takes the easy items off your plate and shows you what needs your time and focus
Jessica does not include any vibe coded outputs
Left to their own devices, a stakeholder will provide ambiguous responses to a traditional survey, or misunderstand the scope of questioning. This is why survey tools are not typically used.
Jessica clarifies the respondent’s understanding and guides them to giving specific requirements
CoPilot is useful for transcribing and recording actual events.
Jessica works before the workshop actually takes place.
