Effectively Combine Requirements Engineering & Agility
This two‑day training shows you how to integrate Requirements Engineering (RE) methods and techniques into agile development processes. At the same time, you will learn how agile approaches such as Scrum, Kanban or SAFe® enhance RE practices by making them faster, more collaborative and more continuous.
You will understand how traditional requirements, feedback loops, communication and prioritization change in an agile environment — and how to successfully combine both worlds to create real value. Using the SERVIEW Workbook Principle®, the training is highly interactive, practical and exercise‑driven, enabling you to develop a deep understanding of how RE principles and agile values complement each other.
Our experienced trainers will show you:
- how Requirements Engineering and agile methods form a shared foundation
- how agile frameworks influence roles, processes & requirements management
- how continuous requirements management works in an agile environment
- how to integrate feedback loops, reviews & communication effectively
- how to establish a shared vocabulary & shared principles within the team
- how RE techniques enhance agile practices (and vice versa)
- how to prepare optimally for the CPRE certification exam
Your Benefits at a Glance
