Business Analysts spend significant time collecting information, analysing stakeholder needs, structuring requirements and translating business problems into actionable solutions. Generative AI can accelerate many of these activities. In this practical two-hour session, participants explore how AI can support Business Analysis while preserving the critical role of human judgement, business context and stakeholder validation. Agenda (2 hours) 15 min — AI and the Business Analyst: What Generative AI changes, automation vs. augmentation, where business context remains essential 20 min — Prompting for Business Analysis: Providing context, asking AI to challenge assumptions and defining expected output formats 30 min — AI for Requirements & Stakeholders: Business needs, elicitation, refinement, gaps, stakeholder identification, user stories and prioritisation 35 min — Live Business Analysis Challenge: Transform an unstructured request into stakeholders, requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria and open questions 10 min — Validation, Bias & Human Judgement: Hallucinations, incorrect assumptions, sensitive information and stakeholder confirmation 10 min — Key Takeaways & Q&A: A reusable approach for integrating AI into the BA workflow Session format: Concepts → BA Use Cases → Live Demonstration → Requirements Challenge → Q&A Key message: AI can accelerate analysis, but it does not understand the organisation as well as the Business Analyst does. Value comes from combining AI capabilities with business context, stakeholder engagement and professional judgement.
