Next Gen BA Blog

One of the most common things BAs describe when they start using AI tools is how much faster they can write user stories. What used to take an afternoon, or weeks, now takes an hour. A backlog that would have required a week of writing can be drafted in a day. The...

There is a persistent conversation happening in the business analysis community about whether requirements documents are dead. The people who say yes point to agile practices, AI-generated code, and the acceleration of build cycles. The people who say no point to...

When experts talk about multi-agent AI orchestration, the conversation almost always gravitates toward the technology. Which platform? Which agents? How do we connect them? How do we scale? These are real questions. But they are not the first questions. And until the...

There is a lot of conversation in the BA community right now about the technical skills needed for AI. How to analyze agentic systems. How to write machine-readable requirements. How to think about deterministic versus probabilistic design. All of that matters, and I...
