IREB® CPRE Foundation Level — Requirements Engineering
Get to grips with every aspect of requirements engineering in line with the official IREB (International Requirements Engineering Board) Syllabus, and prepare for the CPRE Foundation Level certification exam, included in the training.
The international reference for requirements engineering
This course helps you get to grips with the fundamentals of requirements engineering in line with the IREB reference framework: elicitation, documentation, negotiation, validation and management of requirements, using both plan-driven and agile approaches. A thread-running project illustrates each chapter of the syllabus. The course ends with the CPRE Foundation Level certification exam, with fees included.
Prerequisite: basic knowledge of the software lifecycle; IT project experience is recommended.
