What it does
Business Requirements Document builder with guided Q&A and references
When to use it
Use BRD Builder to turn an initiative into solution-neutral business requirements with stakeholder ownership, measurable goals, and traceability. Use PRD Builder for product-level behavior once the business direction is established; do not use a BRD to prescribe implementation details.
How to use it
- Select
BRD Builderand provide the initiative name, business problem, affected stakeholders, and reference material. - Establish scope and ownership in Discover, then refine testable requirements and their goal and acceptance-criteria links in Define.
- If Discover has a named external evidence gap, review the proposed bounded
rpi-researchsegment before confirming it. The agent records a disposition for each material finding and keeps unresolved evidence as an open question or unvalidated assumption. - For substantial Define authoring with dependencies or interruption risk, the agent may propose an
rpi-plansegment, followed by a linkedrpi-implementsegment after you accept the Plan. These segments organize drafting without replacing the BRD template or quality review. - Review the BRD Quality Reviewer findings and resolve the quality gate before Govern.
- Supply the required approver signoff and review the versioned BRD-to-PRD handoff. The agent does not replace business approval with its own assessment.
Proposed RPI segments are recorded in session state as rpiInvocations; existing researchReceipts remain available. A Research, Plan, or Implement segment does not approve requirements or clear a phase gate.
Example usage
Ask: "Create a BRD for reducing delayed service requests. Use requirements/process-notes.md, identify missing stakeholders, and define measurable outcomes without selecting a technology."
Expect an iterative BRD, traceability evidence, quality findings, and a handoff only when its approval conditions are met. Success means requirements connect to business goals and unresolved ownership or evidence remains explicit.
