AI Requirements Management

Transforming Requirements Management with AI

Presented by Chad Kymal - CTO & Founder • Omnex Inc

An insightful session on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Requirements Management, led by Chad Kymal, CTO and Founder of Omnex.

This session highlights AI-driven innovations to overcome challenges in requirements management across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.

Highlights

Expectations from ASPICE Requirements Management:

• Emphasizing the importance of requirements elicitation, specification, analysis, and traceability as outlined in Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) standards.
• Highlighting bidirectional traceability and consistency in ASPICE PAM 4.0, ensuring seamless alignment between stakeholder and system requirements.

Challenges in Requirements Management:

• Complexity arises from managing extensive stakeholder requirements spanning hundreds of documents and thousands of pages.
• Reviewing and approving these requirements involves significant cross-functional collaboration, consuming hundreds of hours across teams.

AI-Powered Solutions for Requirements Management:

• Automated Extraction: AI tools can extract requirements directly from stakeholder inputs such as PDFs.
• Enhanced Derivation: AI facilitates the derivation of system, hardware, and software requirements from stakeholder expectations.
• Traceability and Validation: AI ensures traceability between requirements and test cases, including the full Bill of Materials (BOM).
• Streamlined Review Process: AI aids in periodic revisions and stakeholder validation, expediting the review and approval process.

Demonstrating the AI Workflow:

• Stakeholder requirements are imported into EWQIMS, where they are analyzed, linked, and reviewed.
• Demonstrations include importing PDFs, adding supplemental requirements, sending them for review, and integrating reviewed requirements into comprehensive documents.

Industry Applications:

• The session underscores how AI-driven requirements management benefits industries with complex and regulated products, including automotive safety systems, medical devices, and aerospace components.

Effective requirements management is crucial for delivering quality and compliance in complex engineering projects. By leveraging AI, organizations can reduce manual effort, enhance accuracy, and ensure traceability, leading to faster time-to-market and improved stakeholder satisfaction.
