Welcome, dear REconf attendee!

As Ambassador of the Local Community Germany, I look forward to actively promoting and representing the principles and values of IREB in Germany. My goal is to further strengthen professional Requirements Engineering (RE) and Digital Design (DD) in our region and to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge and best practices.

The Local Community Germany offers the opportunity to gain new perspectives, discuss innovative approaches and deepen the understanding of the IREB certification programmes together with other professionals. By combining the local focus with the global expertise of IREB, together we can further develop and shape the standards in our profession in the long term.

I invite all interested parties to become part of the community in order to network together, develop professionally and promote the exchange of knowledge in Germany. Let's actively shape the future of Requirements Engineering and Digital Design - locally and without language barriers.

A warm welcome also from my side to the IREB Local Community Germany! Together with Oliver our goal is to offer a forum for an open exchange of information and ideas, whether that be concerning IREB certifications directly, careers in RE in general or simply interesting topics for discussion in our field.

For instance: "Have we adapted successfully as requirements engineers to agile approaches and has agile indeed delivered on its promises?" Or "Will AI be a tool that supercharges our productivity or are we soon to be replaced by an army of RE-bots?" Or even "What actually is a requirement anyway?"

These and other such questions tend to occupy my thoughts and as family members and guests at dinner parties have so far displayed an odd lack of enthusiasm in discussing these topics with me at any great length, getting involved in the IREB Local Community was definitely a logical step for me.

So please do feel free to join our community and/or to reach out to myself or Oliver with any thoughts, questions or suggestions ...
