A project manager is defining how Claude can support requirements analysis for an upcoming engagement. Their team will conduct stakeholder interviews and review existing process documentation as part of discovery.
Which activity fits this domain?
A.
Use Claude to generate a complete requirements list from the project name and a short description, since requirements for similar engagements are largely standard.
B.
Use Claude to prioritize the requirements the team has already gathered, leaving gathering itself to manual analyst work since prioritization is more time-consuming.
C.
Use Claude to synthesize stakeholder inputs and existing process documentation into a structured list of requirements with traceability to each source.
D.
Use Claude to conduct the stakeholder interviews directly, with the analyst reviewing the recordings afterward to confirm the requirements Claude extracted.
Option C is correct because requirements analysis is grounded in evidence gathered during discovery. Claude can help organize interview notes and process documentation, identify recurring themes, extract candidate requirements, flag conflicts, and produce a consistent structure. Requiring traceability to each source allows analysts to verify the output and return unclear or disputed requirements to the relevant stakeholder.
Option A asks Claude to invent a complete requirements set from insufficient context. Similar projects may provide useful hypotheses, but they cannot substitute for the organization’s actual stakeholders, constraints, workflows, and objectives. Option B unnecessarily limits Claude’s role: Claude can support synthesis and extraction as well as prioritization, provided qualified humans verify the results. Option D transfers the stakeholder-interview responsibility too broadly. Claude may help prepare questions, summarize authorized transcripts, or organize findings, but human analysts should manage stakeholder relationships, pursue contextual follow-ups, and interpret sensitive or ambiguous responses.
Anthropic recommends providing clear context and structured instructions, while its hallucination guidance advises grounding factual work in source text and auditable citations. A structured, source-traceable requirements list applies both principles and keeps humans responsible for validation and final decisions.
