AI in Requirements Management

by Chad Kymal published on December 09, 2024

In the concluding session of the Virtual Customer Conference, Chad Kymal, CTO of Omnex Inc., explored the transformative impact of AI on requirements management. He demonstrated how AI can streamline complex processes like requirements elicitation, traceability, and validation, addressing key challenges faced by industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.

Chad showcased AI-driven solutions that automate requirement extraction, establish traceability across the Bill of Materials (BOM), and accelerate review cycles through intelligent workflows. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing tools like DOORS and Teamcenter, these applications reduce inefficiencies, enhance collaboration, and ensure alignment with global standards like Automotive SPICE (ASPICE).

Key Takeaways:

  • Automation: AI extracts and organizes requirements from extensive stakeholder documents.
  • Traceability: Establishes bidirectional links across stakeholder, system, and design requirements.
  • Efficiency: Streamlines review cycles, saving time and resources while fostering collaboration.
  • Compliance: Ensures adherence to ASPICE frameworks and global quality standards.
