Day 5 — AI Can Help the BA Detect Scope Creep

 

 Day 5 — AI Can Help the BA Detect Scope Creep

A customer may initially request:

“Implement 5 EDI transactions.”

Later the requirements become:

5 EDI transactions

API integration
real-time processing
additional partners
dashboard
historical reporting
automated reconciliation
+ 24x7 support

The project estimate may have been based on the original scope.

AI can compare:

Original Requirement vs Current Requirement

and highlight:

New functionality
New interfaces
New integrations
Increased transaction volume
Additional testing
Additional security
Additional infrastructure
Additional support requirements

The BA can then show the customer:

“These changes are not merely clarification. They introduce additional scope.”
This makes difficult conversations much more objective.
