Take advantage of our unique source of knowledge on Requirements Engineering, agile concepts, digitialization, and related topics. RE the magazine is available online and free of charge. Published by IREB, written by the community for the community.
New at IREB: The Lunch Lab
Starting in October, there’s a great reason to spend your lunch break differently: With the IREB Lunch Lab, we’re launching a new online format together with our partners - compact, practical, and to the point.
Every Thursday from 12:00–12:45 p.m., professionals from the fields of Requirements Engineering, Business Analysis, and Digital Design will speak openly about what truly matters to them in their day-to-day work.
Each session will be led by a different partner company with its own area of focus, followed by an open discussion in a small group - our Community Ambassadors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland will also be joining us.
The sessions will be held in German.
Get to know compeople, located in the heart of Frankfurt!
Join our LC MeetUp to connect with fellow professionals, discuss current matters on RE and network over drinks and food.

A requirement you never questioned is a risk you never saw. Many project failures don't start with bad code – they start with requirements that were accepted too quickly, understood too vaguely, or never checked against what stakeholders actually meant.
In this Requirement Clinic of the IREB Community India series, we get practical about Requirements Analysis: how do you uncover the real need behind a stated requirement, detect conflicts and gaps early, and turn raw input into a solid, shared understanding?
What to expect:
Who should join: Requirements Engineers, Business Analysts, Product Owners – and anyone who elicits, reviews, or refines requirements.
Free to attend. Registation required.
Mo, 7. September 2026, 12:30 – 13:30 (UTC+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Neu-Delhi n.

The RE consultation hours will be held in German.
IREB is the competence and community partner for Modern RE 2026, organized by summit, and is thus sending a clear signal regarding the further development of the RE community.
Our goal: to bring together people who want to advance Requirements Engineering. After all, the challenges are growing - driven by topics such as AI, increasing complexity, and new forms of collaboration. This makes the exchange of experiences, ideas, and solutions all the more important.
Modern RE creates exactly this space: for inspiration, discussion, and practical insights. Participants not only experience current trends but also take away concrete approaches that can be directly implemented in their own projects.
For IREB, this partnership is another step toward highlighting the importance of professional Requirements Engineering, promoting the sharing of knowledge and experience, and thereby actively strengthening the community.
This joint event by IREB and iSAQB brings together professionals from requirements engineering, design, software architecture and engineering for one intensive day in Graz. From morning to evening, participants will experience a compact bootcamp format with keynotes, expert sessions, a panel discussion, and tutorial tracks.
Why participate?
This is no ordinary conference: just one well-structured format combines strategic input, expert knowledge, discussion, and hands-on learning.

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.
