How do I write a business requirements document from a kick-off meeting?

Short answer

A BRD needs five things the kick-off already contains: the business objective, the scope in and out, the stakeholders, the functional requirements, and the constraints. Extract them from the transcript in that order, then write each requirement as one numbered testable sentence. Segua.ai produces the whole document from the recording and keeps every line traceable to who said it.

How to do it

1
State the objective in one sentence
If the objective needs a paragraph, the kick-off did not produce one and that is your first open question.
2
Write the out-of-scope list
What is excluded protects the budget more than what is included. Take it from the phrases starting with 'we are not going to'.
3
List stakeholders with their decision rights
Name, role, and what they can approve. A BRD without approvers cannot be signed off.
4
Number the requirements
Functional first, then non-functional: performance, security, availability, compliance.
5
Close with assumptions and constraints
Deadlines, budget ceilings, systems that cannot be touched, and anything that was assumed rather than confirmed.

Good to know

Segua.ai exports the document to Word with the project's formatting and an AI-generated notice.
The same source produces the requirements register, so the BRD and the register never diverge.
Documents can be written in English, Italian, Spanish, French or German.
You can ask for a change in plain words and accept or reject the proposed diff.
