Not a Tech Writer, but a Solution Architect: The Quiet Return of Systems Thinking
-
40 min
Not long ago, systems analysis was barely breathing. The demand for analysts was growing only in Russia. Agile had “killed” documentation, Product Owners replaced analysts, and now AI writes requirements in seconds.
Why do we still need systems analysts in 2025 — in an era when everyone has access to a personal “Top AI Analyst”?
This talk is about the major transformation of the discipline and the profession.
Paradox: The more AI there is in the world, the more systems thinking is needed. AI solves local tasks great and can even see systems as a whole — but it also creates new, unprecedented complexity that can only be managed through systemic and strategic thinking.
We’ll explore:
-
How non-systemic thinking ruins AI projects (failure cases).
-
Whether the product approach differs from the systems one.
-
The rise of a new uncertainty.
-
The concept of Human-in-the-Loop recursion.
-
How to solve systemically complex tasks with AI.
-
5 reasons why systems analysis wil become great again.
