IREB – the International Requirements Engineering Board – defines a globally accepted certification scheme on various topics regarding shaping (digital) systems and solutions.
At the end of 2020, IREB published a major update of the Foundation Level for the CPRE scheme. This Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering is a personal certificate aimed at individuals working in Requirements Engineering, Business Analysis and Testing, with 60.000 people now holding a CPRE certificate.
One of the new topics in the CPRE FL 3.0 is the definition of the Fundamental Principles of Requirements Engineering, a clear set of principles that form the basis for the practices presented in the syllabus:
- Value-orientation: Requirements are a means to an end, not an end in itself.
- Stakeholders: RE is about satisfying the stakeholders’ desires and needs.
- Shared understanding: Successful systems development is impossible without a common basis.
- Context: Systems cannot be understood in isolation.
- Problem – Requirement – Solution: An inevitably intertwined triple.
- Validation: Non-validated requirements are useless.
- Evolution: Changing requirements are no accident, but the normal case.
- Innovation: More of the same is not enough.
- Systematic and disciplined work: We can’t do without in RE
In this webinar, Hans van Loenhoud will explain these principles and their practical significance for BA.
Viewing this session will provide you 1 CDU of the Category 4 “Self-directed Learning".
