Requirements management Training Course

Requirements engineering is the process of defining, collecting, documenting, managing and analyzing the needs, expectations and functionalities that should be implemented by a given system, product or IT project. Requirements engineering plays a key role in the success of IT projects because accurate, understandable and consistent requirements constitute the foundation for the system or product being created. Correctly understanding and precisely defining the needs of users and stakeholders is crucial to achieving customer satisfaction and the success of IT projects.

IREB plays an important role in standardizing requirements engineering practices, helping professionals in the field improve their skills and raising quality standards in software development processes. IREB certificates are valued in the industry as confirmation of high professional competences in management and requirements engineering.

This course demonstrates through hands-on practice the fundamentals and applications of software engineering, requirements engineering and testing.

IREB CPRE (International Requirements Engineering Board - Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering) is a certification for requirements engineering professionals. This certification aims to confirm knowledge, skills and experience in the area of management and requirements engineering in the software development process. The Value of IREB CPRE Certification: Confirmation and recognition of knowledge, skills and experience in the area of requirements engineering. Stand out in the job market as a professional specializing in requirements management. Increasing credibility and trust among employers, clients and colleagues.

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.

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Excel is a versatile tool that has been widely used in various areas, from data analysis to project management. Its flexibility and ease of use make it a popular tool for working with data and analysis in many fields. Excel allows you to create spreadsheets in which you can enter data, calculate formulas, analyze data and present results in the form of tables, charts or reports. It has a rich set of built-in mathematical, statistical and financial functions that facilitate calculations and data analysis. It allows you to generate various types of charts (e.g. bar, line, pie) based on data from the spreadsheet, which helps you visualize and present data. Excel offers tools for sorting, filtering, grouping data, as well as creating pivot tables and preliminary data analysis. It is used in business for budgeting, planning, tracking expenses, analyzing sales, creating financial reports, etc. It can be used to create schedules, project plans, manage tasks and track progress.

Business analysis is the process of examining, understanding, and defining business needs in order to develop solutions that meet those needs.

Participants will go through a mock project practising common scenarios.

Goals
Learn the benefits of effective analytical information management in a project. 
Acquire skills in building an information management framework - from stakeholder definition to developing the content of necessary work products and defining the relationships between them, as well as between analytical artifacts and other project work products.

Advantages
Training provided by an expert with several years of experience in the IT industry and extensive knowledge of IT processes.
Emphasis on practice - the necessary theory is supported by project practice, the topics discussed are related to real project situations.
Training delivered using tools used in requirements engineering, which provides an opportunity to learn the basic functionalities of such tools. 
Possibility to apply the acquired knowledge already during the training. 
As a result of the training, the participant develops a framework for managing analytical information (definition of work products, relationships, content), which they can use as a template or guideline for their professional tasks.
