Topic overview

  • Requirements Engineering with AI
  • AI-supported requirements analysis and specification
  • Interaction between Product Management, Development, and Requirements Engineering
  • Impact of AI on software and systems engineering
  • The future of Requirements Engineering: Roles, processes, and responsibility

Beschreibung

AI formulates requirements, detects contradictions, and translates customer wishes into proposed solutions. What will be left for Requirements Engineers in the future – and how is their role changing?

The approximately 20-minute keynote in the Code and Systems Chapter deliberately puts provocative theses up for discussion: Does AI make classic requirements work obsolete? Does it increase quality, or does it primarily produce convincing-sounding errors? Can it drive innovation even though it is based on existing data? And why might human contradiction become even more important when AI takes on more tasks?

Using concrete examples, we will examine the opportunities and risks of AI in Requirements Engineering, as well as the importance of clear processes, domain expertise, and responsible decision-making.

Afterwards, we will discuss together: Which tasks can we leave to AI, what competencies will we need in the future – and where does human judgment remain indispensable? Bring your experiences, questions, and counterarguments.

Zielgruppe

The presentation is aimed at professionals from development, product management, requirements engineering, and quality assurance who are dealing with the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the development of software and technical systems. The presentation is particularly relevant for:

  •  Requirements Engineers and Requirements Managers
  • Software Developers
  • Software and System Architects
  • System Engineers
  • Product Owners and Product Managers
  • Technical Project Managers
  • Test Managers and QA Managers
  • Software Testers
  • Functional Safety and Compliance Managers
  • Domain and Process Experts

It is especially interesting for anyone who wants to understand how AI is changing the elicitation, analysis, specification, implementation, and testing of requirements and what impact this has on the collaboration of the roles involved.
