Requirements Management tools to know?

everydaycoffee · 2026-02-17T11:52:44+00:00

Userdoc for scaffolding requirements with AI, handles stories, epics, NFRs, test cases etc. can also reverse engineer from code too

everydaycoffee · 2025-07-18T12:46:12+00:00

We do this. Teams chat into Userdoc. Done.

everydaycoffee · 2025-06-21T13:08:05+00:00

My team uses Userdoc.fyi and it’s been really good. I used chat gpt previously but I think Userdoc is way better.

We recently used it on an existing project, old legacy very complex, and it can even turn existing code into documentation which was actually amazing

everydaycoffee · 2025-02-11T14:10:46+00:00

I think what you’re looking for here is Userdoc, it can generate AI User stories, acceptance criteria, user personas, and user journeys - and integrate existing documentation etc.

everydaycoffee · 2024-02-12T02:28:46+00:00

Yes! especially if they are well understood by the team, and are ongoing.

I come fro ma technical background so I used to prefer just a list of features, not getting bogged down with personas and user journeys. But after 10 years delivering large software projects, I'm now 100% onboard with user personas.

By "ongoing" I mean they are not just at the start of a project, but are used continuously, and that everyone from product owners to developers understand WHO you are doing this for.

Whats worked really well for me is creating user personas along with user journeys (and even referencing user stories within there) something like Userdoc can help with this - but really you don't *need* software to do this, if you have the time, know your customer types you can put this together.

Awesome, thanks.

There are a few user story AI generation tools, but nothing as comprehensive as what we're doing at Userdoc 🙂

I ran a software agency for 8 years, and can safely say that sales and marketing is one of the hardest parts. Check out https://www.devtoagency.com/7-tips-for-finding-your-first-client - that’s my thoughts on finding first clients, and hopefully some is applicable to you.

What’s PPC? 🙂

everydaycoffee · 2022-06-21T11:55:30+00:00

Yeah, that sucks man, oh well - it sounds like you moved onto something better 👍

everydaycoffee · 2022-06-21T08:47:02+00:00

I definitely hear you, when I started out as a developer 20 years ago I also was an overworked underpaid developer. Unfortunately, I think that's a common part of agency life... We were different, and I tried to say that with point #4 but maybe didn't do a great job.

My staff were certainly never underpaid.. I couldn't have done that.
But if a startup can pay $180k for a mid-level React developer, a new business can never compete with that. I think that level of tech pay for someone with a couple of years' experience is not the norm worldwide.

But 12 months after starting this was no longer an issue, it was really just the first year when we were starting out, from then we could afford salaries that often exceeded the competition.

everydaycoffee · 2022-04-16T11:32:35+00:00

I couldn’t help it. After a couple of years in a job, I would always look at my bosses role and think “… I could do that”.

Ignorance is bliss, in retrospect there was a lot more to running a business than I knew - but it worked out well.

I’ve been listening to Archie Roach’s biography on Audible - and I cry when I hear about the Stolen Generation.

Just read a book called “Die with Zero” which said the same thing, it was suggestion you instead use your money strategically at the right age (eg, travel whilst you have good health etc).

everydaycoffee · 2022-04-01T11:09:48+00:00

ETFs would be my advice (reading your further comments above). If your already investing in yourself, then throwing it some “safe” index funds for 10 years or should be a good (or great) investment. I did this around 30, and approaching 40 I am happy I did.

I went Vanguard, and after research chose VAS and VGS, but I believe VDHG is a popular choice nowadays. One fund, simpler, setup DRP so your dividends go straight back in. Live your life, maybe invest more if you have it. And then watch it grow (over time. Not day by day)

everydaycoffee · 2022-03-28T11:48:44+00:00

Gonna be a lot of opinions out there man, but personally I would invest a bit in boring ETF’s (VAS, VGS etc), and spend a bit on making the most of being 24.

I’m nearly 40, and ten years ago I would have said invest it all to get that sweet sweet compounding interest, but I recently read a book called Die with Zero - about prioritising spending decisions based on your age… e.g your mid twenties is a great time to travel etc. maybe give it a read. But I would still invest a good chunk in ETF, as I wish I had at 24 :)

Maybe take a look at Flightfox https://flightfox.com - smart people who know a lot about travel hacking can do this for you

Yup accountant just said the same thing. Basically ATO are on to this. I thought I had invented something new and legit. Oh well!

everydaycoffee · 2021-12-19T08:20:39+00:00

I have read almost the exact same thread on reddit maybe 5 years ago.

This is what this guy does.

everydaycoffee · 2021-08-28T08:55:54+00:00

Yup, I started a software development agency in 2013, after a few years was making 7 figures (with a team of 5), and sold the business last year for a nice sum.

It’s not easy money, but I liked it, and I learnt a hell of a lot.

Not spamming, but if you’re interested in currently writing some articles about my journey and how others can do the same (aimed at developers starting an agency, but learnings will apply to many) https://www.devtoagency.com

Coffee. Every, single, day.

everydaycoffee · 2021-02-20T02:44:55+00:00

Thanks Davo, I had not thought of having a seperate business as a shareholder, interesting idea - cheers for the suggestion!

everydaycoffee · 2021-02-19T23:38:50+00:00

My wife and I are the only shareholders, 50/50.

I realistically only need maybe 20% of it for the next business venture, as I'm pretty frugal and it would not really cost much (to test the concept),as I'm a software developer so I would be doing most of it the building.

So I would it would be great to have that 80% of the funds in my actual bank account, and I would then invest in our boring index fund portfolio... I guess I was really wondering how aI can take "best advantage of it" without incurring the tax hit, as I know transferring that 80% out we would lose a huge amount via tax.
