Presentation
Training with CPRE® Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering Foundation Level certification
In a world where systems and software drive innovation and efficiency, understanding and precisely formalising needs is essential. Poorly defined requirements can lead to costly projects, unsuitable functionality and dissatisfied users. An IREB CPRE-certified requirements engineering professional helps ensure that developed systems genuinely meet stakeholder expectations and needs.
This course prepares you to become an IREB CPRE Foundation Level certified requirements engineering professional. Develop strong expertise in understanding, documenting, validating and managing requirements using internationally recognised IREB standards and best practices. Collaborate effectively with stakeholders, structure needs clearly and concisely, and support project success by establishing a sound development foundation. The program is designed for professionals seeking requirements engineering fundamentals and a recognised qualification in this essential field.
By the end of the 3-day program, you will have the key skills to pass the IREB CPRE Foundation Level examination (see the Certification tab for details). Comprehensive preparation includes a mock examination and personalised advice to maximise success.
Oo2 is your GASQ-accredited Platinum partner (in French) (Global Association for Software Quality). This partnership ensures that the course and certification examination meet rigorous quality standards.
Objectives
By the end of this course, CPRE Foundation Level participants will be able to:
- identify the benefits of effective requirements management and its role in project success;
- explain and apply the key principles underpinning effective requirements engineering;
- describe and apply basic elicitation, documentation, validation and management techniques;
- distinguish requirement types and understand key characteristics such as clarity and testability;
- use common techniques to document requirements clearly and understandably;
- understand key requirements management activities, including tracking, traceability and change management;
- identify tools that support requirements engineering activities;
- understand requirements engineering process improvement;
- prepare effectively for the IREB CPRE Foundation Level certification examination.
Program
Day 1: understanding requirements engineering fundamentals
Understanding basic concepts and principles
- The definition and importance of requirements engineering.
- Benefits and challenges of effective requirements management.
- Different requirement types and their key characteristics.
- The requirements engineer’s role and project context.
Discovering IREB’s fundamental principles
- Introduction to IREB’s nine fundamental requirements engineering principles.
- Practical application in different scenarios.
- Links between principles and requirements engineering activities.
Understanding the requirements engineering process
- Key requirements lifecycle activities: elicitation, documentation, validation and management.
- Factors influencing the process, including project size and complexity.
- Requirements engineering process models and their adaptation.
Day 2: applying requirements elicitation and documentation techniques
Applying elicitation techniques
- Identifying requirement sources and stakeholders.
- Using common elicitation techniques: interviews, workshops, questionnaires and others.
- Managing conflicting requirements and decision-making.
Documenting requirements effectively
- Different work product types and their uses.
- Natural language documentation: advantages and disadvantages.
- Introduction to model-based documentation techniques such as UML.
- Essential characteristics of good requirements, including clarity and testability.
Validating requirements to ensure quality
- The importance and objectives of validation.
- Validation techniques: reviews, inspections, prototypes and tests.
- Involving stakeholders in validation.
Day 3: applying requirements management techniques and preparing for certification
Implementing requirements management practices
- Managing the requirements lifecycle and tracking status.
- Establishing requirements traceability.
- Managing requirement changes: process and impact.
- Requirements prioritisation techniques.
Exploring supporting tools
- Available tool types: requirements management and modelling tools.
- Selection criteria and benefits of tools.
- Overview of integrating tools into the requirements engineering process.
Preparing for the IREB CPRE Foundation examination
- Review of key concepts and important program points.
- Examination advice and strategies.
- A complete mock examination under realistic conditions.
- Analysis of mock results and identification of improvement areas.
- Final questions and answers.
Audience
This course is intended for:
- business analysts who are responsible for understanding and documenting user and stakeholder needs;
- project managers seeking to understand requirements engineering, better manage scope and reduce risks from poorly defined requirements;
- software developers seeking better requirements understanding to build products that genuinely meet needs;
- testers checking solution conformity who want to understand requirement origins and improve test quality;
- Product Owners seeking to formalise and communicate needs more effectively to development teams;
- IT consultants wishing to integrate requirements engineering best practices into recommendations;
- anyone seeking requirements engineering fundamentals and a recognised qualification.
Prerequisites
The following optional prerequisites are recommended:
- Basic understanding of software or systems development: a general idea of how software or systems are created is useful, even without extensive development experience.
- Professional experience in IT, information systems or project management: work as a business analyst, project manager, developer, tester or in a similar requirements-focused role facilitates understanding.
- An interest in improving project communication and collaboration: requirements engineering serves this goal, making such an interest an advantage.
Teaching and assessment methods
- Initial skills assessment
- Training materials provided to participants
- Continuous assessment throughout the course
- End-of-course feedback questionnaire
- Combination of theory and practical application
- Attendance records
- Post-course follow-up evaluation
- Practical exercises
- Case study
- Mock exam
