Workshop IT presents Jessica: The AI Requirements Elicitation Platform that interviews stakeholders before discovery workshops, synthesises their input into a project-wide view of requirements, identifies conflicting perspectives and prepares Business Analysts for faster, more productive discovery.
Pilot places are limited. Every application is reviewed individually.
Your workshop can’t start until everyone’s calendars align.
If an unexpected requirement emerges, you’ll need another workshop.
And another search for a free slot in everyone’s diary.
A stakeholder introduces a new requirement.
The trouble is, it belongs to a different project.
Instead of progressing today’s agenda, you’re negotiating where the conversation should happen.
The stakeholder whose input matters most is called away five minutes before the workshop.
They eventually return, but spend the rest of the session replying to urgent emails.
Are you really getting their full attention?
Someone mentions a requirement.
Within seconds, two developers are sketching a system diagram that nobody asked for.
The facilitator now has the awkward job of dragging everyone back to the actual discussion.
An extra attendee joins “just to stay across things.”
With nothing specific to contribute, they deploy the classic rhetorical questions:
“What problem are we really trying to solve here?”
You wrote it in the meeting invite.
You put it on the whiteboard in big letters.
Someone still asks about it.
Then someone arrives late… and asks again.
We heard that during market research. We disagreed.
Every experienced Business Analyst knows what good practice looks like.
Traditional BA frameworks assume you have unlimited time and undivided stakeholder attention. Reality dictates otherwise. Priorities change for both Projects and the wider business.
Jessica gives Business Analysts more time to practise good business analysis.
Jessica takes manual preparation work away from Business Analysts.
Every stakeholder is interviewed individually and in their own time. Ensuring quieter voices are heard just as clearly as the loudest.
Other AI-chat products exist to give answers.
Jessica exists to ask questions.
It holds multiple Workshops
It’s a child of the Project
To be interviewed
People you add will receive an email with a link to do their interview in their own time.
Jessica uses the context you entered earlier to seek requirements.
Requirements are clarified to make them specific and measurable.
Motives and nuances are uncovered and noted.
Every interview from every workshop adds to the evolving, fully traceable list of requirements for your project.
Once a requirement has been captured, each time someone else requests it , the requirement gets a “+1” with full traceability.
If people have opposing views, these are brought to your attention.
One of the Senior Managers insists on getting an invite to your workshop and is being vocal elsewhere about the project’s lack of progress.
He needs to be involved. But he is not available for two weeks and will spend the session distracted, with one eye on his phone.
He receives an invite to use Jessica and gives requirements in his own time.
The workshop goes ahead as scheduled and you have a smaller session with him when he is available the following week, to play back the workshop outcome. Which already includes his inputs.
Your key SME – the person who works with real customers every day – knows the impacted process back-to-front, but is only allowed to spare one hour for your workshop.
With other attendees involved, there is not enough time to hear all of their valuable information.
They give requirements to Jessica in advance of the workshop. You review the output and identify which points to cover more in the workshop, versus those which just need a quick mention.
You also see a specific template was called-out that may be useful for the group, so you ask them to bring it to the workshop.
A manager heard about your project at a town hall and decided that one of their team needs to attend your workshop.
The invite was forwarded before you even knew.
This invitee only has one requirement to add and your workshop is taking time away from what they should really be doing
They give their requirement to Jessica, gain additional context about your project and realise that it is too early to be involved.
They are comfortable not attending your workshop and instead opt to receive the outputs offline, where they can see the requirement is included.
The scenarios above are fictionalised examples for demonstration purposes. Images are AI-generated. Any similarity to real colleagues, past clients, or that one specific stakeholder you are thinking of right now, is purely coincidental.
Jessica wasn’t built by people guessing how business analysis works. It was designed around real stakeholder interviews, discovery workshops and the practical challenges Business Analysts deal with every day.
Our goal is not to replace Business Analysts.
It is to help them start workshops with better information and fewer surprises.
Why are we running a pilot?
We’re working closely with a small group of users to refine Jessica before general release. During the pilot, you’ll receive early access and have the opportunity to influence the product’s direction.
No. Jessica is an AI-Powered Requirements Elicitation Platform designed to reduce the amount of time spent preparing for workshops (which in reality is often zero).
This is a tool to ensure that your analysts are fully prepared for the workshop.
No. We strongly believe that having a workshop (ideally in person) will never be replaced by AI. There are nuances and tacit knowledge in every human response that AI cannot pick up on
Jessica allows you to complete the pre-workshop activities that you are meant to do, but never have the time to do.
Even if you do currently have the time to do them, Jessica will now do these activities for you.
You will receive easy to interpret insights. You will know exactly who agrees with who and which requirements are in conflict. Allowing you to focus your agenda on the items that matter.
Additionally, peripheral stakeholders who are less engaged and have fewer requirements to add, or those who are moderately engaged but have no time allocated, can elect to no longer attend the actual workshop
Surveys often yield ambiguous or out-of-scope answers.
Our AI requirements elicitation platform clarifies the respondent’s understanding in real-time to ensure data is specific and actionable.
CoPilot transcribes what happened.
Jessica captures what should happen before your workshop even starts.
