Successful products and projects satisfy the real needs of your users. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify and prioritize these needs and bring solutions to market quickly.
In your role as product owner, business analyst or requirements engineer, you will become the ideal partner for agile development teams and a guarantor of success for your company.
Today, good requirements no longer means writing thick requirements specifications, but rather constantly collecting, structuring and evaluating requirements so that the features that deliver the greatest business value can be quickly implemented in products.
Take the next step on your requirements engineering career ladder!
This workshop leads you in a practical and pragmatic way to the Advanced Level in Requirements Engineering. Become an ‘RE@Agile Practioner’ after the multiple choice test or an ‘RE@Agile Specialist’ through an additional homework.
With the help of many examples and practical tips, you will learn everything you need in your everyday life to master the requirements of agile projects. Even without prerequisites you will be ready after the training, to successfully manage the requirements of your stakeholders as a product owner. You will know how to set goals and specify them step by step, so that you can prove the success of your work early on. We supplement the methodical content with even more practical tips and deepen the handling of the often neglected quality requirements. You learn how to estimate the effort required for implementation, which strategies can be used for prioritization and how Agile Requirements Engineering can be used for large, possibly distributed projects.
And we prepare you intensively for the IREB-Advanced exam.
Content:
-
Agile methods and requirements engineering - two ideal partners.
You’ll learn how to balance rapid product success with solid requirements. How you can save thick documents if you communicate appropriately and often instead. Agile requirements are just-in-time requirements. As much precision as necessary, but as little detail as possible. -
Guarantees for a successful project start.
Learn to make your vision and goals explicit, know your stakeholders and define the planned scope of your project. -
Mastering functional requirements
Learn techniques, practices, tips & tricks for handling Epics, Features and Stories. How to structure them, how to document and communicate them. -
Mastering non-functional requirements.
You will be able to assess the importance of quality requirements for product success and learn how to deal with qualities and constraints in an agile environment. -
Prioritize and plan
You will learn business value maximization and risk reduction. How to sort the backlog to produce the most value early? How to deal with dependencies? You will learn how to balance effort and benefits. -
The practical handling of quality requirements.
You will deepen your basic knowledge of quality requirements and learn practical tips for dealing with them in a time-saving and targeted manner. -
Estimate and Plan
You will learn agile estimation methods such as Planning Poker and Wall Estimation. You will be able to weigh costs and efforts against benefits. -
Strategies for product development
You will learn how to generate rapid initial successes via MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) and MMPs (Minimum Marketable Products). How do you select the appropriate features for this? How do you ensure that development does not go in the wrong direction? -
Think big!
You will learn how to deal with large projects and distributed teams. How can agile requirements methods be scaled in the company? Which ideas can you adopt from popular scaling frameworks like SAFe, LeSS or Nexus? Your way from a successful agile project to a successful agile organization! -
Exam Preparation
We review everything you need to know for the Advanced Level exam “RE@Agile”. From 15:00 you can take the first part of the exam (the multiple choice test) directly.
Prerequisites:
recommended, but not mandatory!
- Scrum training or adequate knowledge from practical experience.
- Basic knowledge of requirements engineering, ideally CPRE FL training.
IREB Advanced Level Certification
This course enables you to certify to the IREB Advanced Level Module “RE@Agile “. The exam can be taken directly at the end of the workshop - or independently.
The prerequisite for taking the exam is the IREB CPRE certificate. If you do not have this yet, you can acquire it through our two-day workshop “Requirements Basics”. As a convenient alternative, the video training by Peter Hruschka prepares you for the CPRE exam independent of time.
