In practice, requirements engineering tasks have become increasingly complex. In order to ensure a high level of knowledge and competency among requirements engineers, the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB) developed a standardized qualification called the Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE). The certification defines the practical skills of a requirements engineer on various training levels.
This book is designed for self-study and covers the curriculum for the Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering Foundation Level exam as defined by the IREB.
The 2nd edition has been thoroughly revised and is aligned with the curriculum Version 2.2 of the IREB. In addition, some minor corrections to the 1st edition have been included.
About IREB:
The mission of the IREB is to contribute to the standardization of further education in the fields of business analysis and requirements engineering by providing syllabi and examinations, thereby achieving a higher level of applied requirements engineering.
The IREB is comprised of a balanced mix of independent, internationally recognized experts in the fields of economy, consulting, research, and science. The IREB is a non-profit corporation.

Looking back over 25 years of professional experience, a lot has come up: a company... 6 books... 55 employees... countless articles and presentations... and a whole lot of experience. My passion for project consultation might account for the fact that, until now, I do not "only" manage, but I am still directly involved in projects and remain close to customers. What drives me is the vision to implement good ideas so that developers, contractual partners, and users-both direct and indirect-face an intelligent, sophisticated, and beneficial product. In doing so, I work with a range of methods and approaches in agile and non-agile environments. In order to standardize qualification for requirements engineers/business analysts, I founded the IREB e.V. (International Requirements Engineering Board).
