From Noise to Notes: Using Microsoft Copilot + Power Apps to Rock Your Product Requirements - 2:00 - 2:50 PM
Kris Jones, MS | PDUs: 1 Business Acumen
 
What if your next requirements document could write itself—grounded in institutional knowledge, dynamically updated, and fully traceable? In this workshop, you’ll step into the role of a project leader using Microsoft Copilot and Power Platform to build an AI-powered assistant that transforms disjointed project inputs into structured, actionable requirements—on demand.
 
At the center of the session is the R.I.F.T. Framework (Retrieval-Integrated Framework for Traceable Requirements)—a strategic, repeatable model for designing and deploying AI-driven documentation workflows using Microsoft-native tools. Together, we’ll simulate how this framework is applied to streamline stakeholder alignment, reduce documentation time, and ensure version control at scale.
 
Designed for project and program managers navigating the future of work, this session provides the tools to lead AI adoption in documentation with confidence, clarity, and measurable value.
