IREB Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering - Foundation Level Training Course

This foundational course caters to professionals engaged in the intersection of Requirements Engineering and Agile methodologies. It is designed for individuals in roles such as project or IT management, domain experts, system analysts, software developers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and members of Agile-centric organizations.

RE@Agile draws inspiration from both IREB’s perspective on Agile values and the Agile interpretation of Requirements Engineering values. The curriculum covers the classification and assessment of Requirements Engineering artifacts and techniques within Agile contexts, as well as Agile artifacts and techniques within Requirements Engineering frameworks. It also examines essential process elements in Agile product development, highlighting the rationale for adopting Agile in development processes.

A key focus is the synergy between Requirements Engineering and Agile, exploring Agile principles applicable to Requirements Engineering and the Agile mindset in relation to core Requirements Engineering values.

The Examination

This course serves as the foundation for the RE@Agile Primer examination. Two assessment options are available:

• A proctored multiple-choice examination leading to an official RE@Agile Primer certificate, comparable to the CPRE Foundation and Advanced Level exams, but with a duration of 40 minutes.
• An online multiple-choice self-assessment providing confirmation of participation.

This Advanced Level Module, RE@Agile, is designed for Requirements Engineers and agile practitioners. It focuses on understanding and applying practices and techniques from the Requirements Engineering discipline within agile development processes. Additionally, it covers the comprehension and application of concepts, techniques, and essential process elements of agile approaches in Requirements Engineering processes. >

The Examination

This course prepares you for the Advanced Level certification exams in:

• RE@Agile - Practitioner (the certificate is awarded based on a multiple-choice exam)
• RE@Agile - Specialist (the certificate is awarded based on a written assignment)

This three-day course is offered as a live, instructor-led session, available either online (remote) or onsite (in a classroom setting).

The curriculum provides methods and best practices for Requirements Engineering that can be implemented in any organization, irrespective of the business domain, with a specific focus on the elicitation (or extraction) of requirements and their consolidation (negotiation and integration).

The course content is also designed to prepare participants for the Advanced level certification exam.

Requirements Engineering (RE) is a fundamental discipline in software and systems development, dedicated to identifying, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs and constraints to ensure project success.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) targets intermediate-level professionals aiming to deepen their understanding of practical Requirements Engineering while preparing for the IREB CPRE – Foundation Level certification exam.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply the core concepts and terminology defined by the IREB CPRE Foundation syllabus.
• Identify and elicit requirements using effective, context-appropriate techniques.
• Model, document, and validate requirements for real-world projects.
• Manage requirements changes, traceability, and prioritization throughout the project lifecycle.
• Utilize Requirements Engineering tools and best practices to enhance communication and project outcomes.
• Be fully prepared to take and pass the IREB CPRE – Foundation Level certification exam.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Case-based exercises and collaborative workshops.
• Exam preparation sessions and practice questions.

Customization Options

• Additional modules or industry-specific case studies can be included upon request.

Model-Based Development (MBD) is a software development methodology that facilitates faster, more cost-efficient creation of dynamic systems, such as control, signal processing, and communication systems. It employs graphical modeling instead of traditional text-based programming.

During this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to apply MBD methodologies to reduce development costs and accelerate the time to market for their embedded software products.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to

• Select and utilize the appropriate tools for implementing MBD.
• Utilize MBD to enable rapid development in the early stages of their embedded software projects.
• Shorten the release cycle for their embedded software in the market.

Course Format

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises, and intensive hands-on practice

This instructor-led, live training in Portugal (online or onsite) is aimed at persons who wish to understand requirements analysis and conduct requirements analysis efficiently and accurately using analysis techniques for their projects.
