Info-Tech’s blueprint provides insights into how AI can complement and enhance human roles rather than replace them.
A new blueprint from Info-Tech Research Group, Get Started With AI in Requirements Management, serves as a practical guide for business analysts to leverage AI for automating routine tasks and dedicating more time to strategic, high-impact activities.
Vince Mirabelli, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group, said, “AI isn’t coming; it is already here. Business analysts must prepare themselves to help their organizations in adapting to this game-changing technology. AI is set to completely revolutionize the practice of requirements management, offering opportunities for unparalleled efficiency and precision in the solution development lifecycle. However, organizations should approach AI implementation with a thoughtful and cautious strategy. The right way to embark on this journey involves understanding the constraints and limitations of AI, ensuring data quality and diversity to prevent biased outcomes, and incorporating human oversight throughout the process.”
While the market is abundant with numerous tools and vendors promising significant productivity benefits, the firm advises in the new resource that the key for business analysts lies in how to effectively leverage these technologies to align with organizational goals. Without a clear, strategic plan or well-defined objectives, investments in AI risk being ill-spent, leading to suboptimal outcomes despite significant expenditure of time, money, and effort.
The research also addresses a prevalent concern about job displacement across industries due to AI adoption. Info-Tech’s blueprint provides insights into how AI can complement and enhance human roles rather than replace them, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and human-centric AI implementation. The approach not only mitigates the risks associated with AI integration but also positions the organization to capitalize on AI’s potential to drive innovation and maintain a competitive edge.
