Manual Requirement Gathering

You gather requirements without AI assistance using traditional methods

Level 1: No AI Minimal Risk Adopt

What It Does

Traditional requirement gathering as the baseline approach, completely human-driven:

Discovery & Research:
• Market analysis and competitive research
• Business plan review and strategic alignment
• Stakeholder interviews and user research

Requirements Gathering:
• Face-to-face meetings with stakeholders
• Workshop sessions (design thinking, event storming, etc.)
• User story mapping and backlog creation
• User journey mapping
• Business requirements documentation

Validation:
• Requirement review sessions
• Stakeholder sign-offs
• Manual consistency checks

This is your baseline - the foundation that all AI-assisted capabilities build upon.

Context Requirements

Business Strategy & Context Yes

Domain & Functional Context Yes

Technical Strategy and Guidelines Optional

Technical Context No

StrategyRadar Notes

This is the traditional, proven approach to requirements analysis. Use it as your baseline to compare against AI-assisted capabilities. While AI can accelerate many tasks, the human judgment, domain expertise, and stakeholder relationships built through these traditional methods remain irreplaceable. Consider this capability as Level 0 - the foundation upon which you can selectively add AI assistance.
