This includes people in roles such as project or IT management, domain experts, system analysts and software developers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners and persons who are part of Agile organizations.

RE@Agile is inspired both by IREB’s view of Agile values as well as by an Agile view of Requirements Engineering values. Its content includes classification and assessment of Requirements Engineering work products and techniques in the context of Agile, of Agile work products and techniques in the context of Requirements Engineering, and of essential process elements in Agile product development. RE@Agile points to the motivation to use Agile in a development process.

An important area is the synergy between Requirements Engineering and Agile: Agile Principles concerning Requirements Engineering and Agile mindset in relation to the core Requirements Engineering values.

The Examination

This course is the basis for the RE@Agile Primer examination. Two different examinations are available:

Introduction and Overview of Requirements Engineering 

Model Based Development (MBD) is a software development methodology that enables faster, more cost-effective development of dynamic systems such as control systems, signal processing and communication systems. It relies on graphic modeling rather than the traditional text based programming.

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

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

• Select and utilize the right tools for implementing MBD.
• Use MBD to carry out rapid development in the early stages of their embedded software project.
• Shorten the release of their embedded software into the market.
