Practitioners Level Preparation for the IREB CPRE Advanced Level certification exam
A 3-day course designed to advance participants’ knowledge in requirements management, preparing them for the IREB CPRE Advanced Level Requirements Management certification. The training alternates between theoretical content and practical exercises, ensuring participants gain hands-on experience in handling requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
IREB (International Requirements Engineering Board) is the globally recognized authority in requirements engineering certification. The CPRE (Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering) program sets the standard for professionals seeking to improve requirements engineering practices.
The CPRE certification pathway is structured across three levels:
- Foundation Level: Covers the fundamentals of requirements engineering.
- Advanced Level: Focuses on specialized areas, including Requirements Management, Elicitation, and Modeling.
- Expert Level: Recognizes professionals with extensive experience and knowledge in requirements engineering.
This course equips participants with the knowledge and tools needed to improve requirements management practices, align requirements with stakeholder needs, and ensure successful project execution. Participants will also be prepared to take the IREB CPRE Advanced Level Requirements Management certification exam.
Goals
After completing the IREB Practitioner course, participants will:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of requirements management and its role in system development.
- Develop valuable tools and techniques to improve their own requirements management practices.
- Be able to consistently manage requirements to meet stakeholder expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
- Have the opportunity to take the IREB CPRE Advanced Level Requirements Management certification exam.
Description
Requirements management is one of four key pillars in effective requirements engineering, alongside requirements elicitation, validation, and documentation. This process involves managing stakeholder needs, breaking down requirements, tracing them, and handling them over time, from start to finish. Effective requirements management ensures that the system development aligns with stakeholder expectations and facilitates maintenance throughout the system’s lifecycle.
