Requirement Change Monitoring Agent

Continuously monitors inbound communications to detect requirement changes, flag risks, and trigger timely team alerts.

Requirement analysis during proposal development often suffers from resource-intensive manual reviews of emails, chat messages, meeting notes, and stakeholder documents. Missed or delayed detection of requirement changes, ambiguities, or risks can lead to rework cycles, process delays, and inconsistencies in deliverables, undermining both team efficiency and proposal quality.

The Requirement Change Monitoring Agent monitors inbound communications across internal unstructured sources such as emails, chat platforms, meeting summaries, and uploaded documents, as well as structured repositories like the requirements library and feedback logs. It uses AI components to identify requirement changes, surface potential risks or ambiguities, and alert relevant stakeholders whenever attention is needed. The agent also provides clear, actionable suggestions for updating the requirements repository, ensuring that teams work from information that reflects the most recent understanding of stakeholder needs. This integrated approach enables cohesive surveillance and streamlined change-management workflows.

By combining continuous monitoring, precise detection, and proactive alerting, this agent strengthens operational efficiency and reduces cost impacts associated with late discovery of requirement shifts. Teams can address changes before they escalate into downstream inefficiencies, reducing manual review workloads, improving documentation accuracy, and limiting project rework. The result is a more controlled, transparent, and reliable requirements development process that supports higher-quality proposal outcomes.

    • 

  • Dashboard Demo: Positive feedback from David Miller. He appreciates the clean interface. He mentioned that it might be useful for execs if the dashboard also included real-time data from the marketing automation platform (Marketo). This would be a great value-add. He asked if we could explore that.
    • 

  • Q4 Requirements: Confirmed that the "Advanced User Permissions" module is the top priority. All existing signed-off requirements are still valid.
    • 

  • Action Items:
      

    • [AI-101] Apex Dev Team: Fix UI bug in contact list view. (Due: Oct 30)
      •

Requirement Change Surveillance Report


Status: New Potential Requirement Change Detected
Source Document: Project_Helios_Weekly_Client_Sync_Notes
Project: Helios CRM Platform




1. Summary


A potential high-impact requirement change was detected in the meeting notes from the weekly client sync. The client, InnovateCorp, suggested adding a new data integration feature to the Reporting Dashboard, which represents a deviation from the currently defined scope.

3. Risk and Impact Analysis


    

  • Impact Level: High
    • 

  • Affected Module: Reporting Dashboard (REQ-DASH-004)
    • 

  • Analysis:
      

    • Scope Creep: This feature is not documented in the current Statement of Work or the official requirements repository.
      • 

    • Technical Complexity: Requires API integration with a third-party service (Marketo), which may necessitate new authentication protocols, data mapping, and error handling logic not previously scoped.
      • 

    • Resource Impact: This will likely require additional developer and QA hours, potentially impacting the Q4 development timeline for the "Advanced User Permissions" module.
      • 

    • Budget Impact: Potential cost overrun due to unscheduled development and testing effort.
      • 

    

    • 



4. Suggested Actions & Repository Updates


    

  1. 

    Immediate Action:
    

      

    • Flag for Review: The Project Manager should create a formal Change Request based on this finding.
      • 

    • Clarify with Client: Schedule a follow-up meeting with David Miller to define the specific data points, API requirements, and expected performance for the Marketo integration.
      •
