Pragmatic Institute
Product Requirements with AI
AI can draft a product specification. This workshop teaches you to define the market problem it needs to solve. Rewrite one real backlog item by persona, use scenario, and frequency, then use AI to surface ambiguity, assumptions, edge cases, and unanswered questions.
In this workshop you will:
- Start with the Market Problem
- Rewrite the Requirement
- Pressure-Test It with AI

Product Requirements with AI Overview
Start with the Market Problem
- Bring one real item from your roadmap or backlog.
- Use AI to find where it prescribes a solution instead of stating the problem.
- Separate the market problem from a feature request or implementation instruction.
Rewrite the Requirement
- State the persona, use scenario, frequency, and what success looks like.
- Remove implementation decisions that belong to engineering or design.
- Mark missing context and assumptions that still require market evidence.
Pressure-Test It with AI
- Use AI to expose ambiguity, unstated assumptions, and missing edge cases.
- Have AI read the requirement as an engineer and generate the questions they would ask.
- Decide which gaps to resolve and which decisions to leave deliberately to engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Bring one real item from your roadmap or backlog, ideally one that has already come back from engineering with questions. Bring your current template if you have one, but no specific format is required.
No. You need access to an AI assistant, but no specific platform is required. You will use AI to improve requirements for any product. The workshop is not about writing requirements for AI products.
You will be able to distinguish a market problem from a feature request, rewrite one backlog item by persona, use scenario, and frequency, and critique the result for ambiguity, assumptions, and missing edge cases. You will leave with one rewritten requirement and an open questions list.
This workshop focuses on articulating a market problem, rewriting one requirement, and using AI to critique it. It does not cover release planning, delivery management, stakeholder alignment and communication, or prioritizing the problem backlog.
