  Welcome to OpenRose —a free and open-source requirements management tool available at github.com/openrose   In this blog, we’ll explore how OpenRose’s latest feature empowers users to collaborate with AI platforms like ChatGPT, especially when managing complex projects such as a Charity Fundraising initiative. Why Context Matters in AI Collaboration When working with AI—whether it's ChatGPT or any other platform—setting the right context is crucial. This process is known as context engineering or context provisioning , and it’s closely related to what many refer to as prompt engineering . Rather than overwhelming the AI with excessive or irrelevant data, context engineering ensures the AI receives just the right amount of information—no more, no less. This allows the AI to generate more accurate, relevant, and actionable responses. As AI systems evolve from simple prompt-based tools into sophisticated autonomous agents, context engineering becomes essential. It helps r...

Yet users still shrugged. Why? Because traditional Requirements Management—though essential—often overlooks the context , empathy , and iteration needed to ensure solutions are relevant and resonant .
