AI4RE micro-credential in the beta-phase
IREB has expanded the CPRE certification program to include micro-credential qualifications. Micro-credentials are compact learning units that impart specific knowledge in a short period of time.
The first of these is the AI4RE micro-credential, which is currently available in a beta version and will be released in its final form in the first quarter of 2026.
Participants in the beta phase will receive a proof of completion, for which they can obtain official confirmation once the final version is released.
We invite all participants of the beta phase to answer a short survey. Your feedback will help us to further optimize the micro-credential and tailor it to the needs of the IREB community.
The IREB Community Switzerland cordially invites you to its regular RE get-together in the heart of Zug.
An informal meeting to exchange ideas, experiences, and insights about requirements engineering—over a drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
What you can expect:
Do you have questions about requirements engineering?
Or would you simply like to engage in an open exchange with other RE enthusiasts?
Then come to our first IREB Community Austria consultation hour!
Joining us:
Michael Tesar (IREB Ambassador Austria)
Dennis Woyke (IREB Ambassador Switzerland)
Stan Bühne (Managing Director, IREB GmbH)
We'll talk about everything that moves RE – e.g.:
Which CPRE certification best suits my role?
What do I do when requirements are constantly changing?
How do I establish RE in an agile environment?
How does AI in RE influence my work?
What trends should I be aware of in requirements engineering?
And much more.
Be there when our expert hotline comes to life.

IREB Roundtable: RE as a Gateway to Systems Engineering
Systems are becoming more complex – but not every organization is ready to adopt formal Systems Engineering. So how can we still foster systems thinking? And what role can Requirements Engineering play as a natural entry point?
Join the IREB Roundtable as experts from practice and methodology explore how small steps in RE can drive big shifts toward SE – even in environments where Systems Engineering is not yet formally established.
The IREB Community Germany Meetup brings together people who are passionate about requirements engineering, business analysis, and related topics.
Look forward to exciting insights, inspiring exchanges, and new contacts in the Nuremberg community.

How do we define the tasks that artificial intelligence should take over – and how does that shift the role of Requirements Engineering? In this IREB Roundtable, experts from Fraunhofer IESE and MetaFinanz explore how AI can become a partner in identifying, structuring, and supporting human tasks. We’ll dis-cuss the balance between efficiency and effectiveness, the use of frameworks like the Knowledge Pyramid, and how human-centered thinking remains essential in designing meaningful AI use cases. Join us for practical insights, real-world experiences, and a forward-looking conversation about the future of RE.

The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) defines business analysis as “the practice of enabling change in the context of an enterprise by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders” [1]. This process relies heavily on effective communication and understanding of stakeholder needs, with particular emphasis on active listening. In this article, we will explore why these skills are essential for business analysts and how they can overcome some typical barriers to active listening. We will also highlight the benefits of these practices in fostering better relationships and creating a positive work environment.
In this paper, we will show how the SysML modeling language can be useful to complement the requirements process, i.e. to better define and trace requirements. The Systems Modeling Language (SysML: www.omgsysml.org) is a general-purpose graphical modeling language, defined by the Object Management Group (OMG), based on the well-known Unified Modeling Language (UML: www.uml.org). It is used for specifying, analyzing, designing and verifying complex systems, and is designed to provide simple but powerful constructs for modeling a wide range of systems engineering problems. It is particularly effective in specifying requirements: the structure, behavior, allocations and constraints on system properties that support engineering analysis.
