A CPRE Foundation Level Perspective
This webinar is intended for Business Analysts, Product Owners, Systems Engineers, QA professionals, Project Managers, and CPRE Foundation Level candidates.
Stan Bühne from IREB will speak at the webinar hosted by TÜV SÜD America Inc. on writing effective requirements that improve communication, reduce rework, and support successful delivery.
The session introduces three practical principles - clarity, testability, and value orientation - and demonstrates how teams can apply them to create higher-quality requirements. Using concise real-world examples, participants will also learn how these concepts relate to the IREB CPRE Foundation Level, including shared understanding, validation, and systematic documentation of requirements.
This IREB Community Germany Meetup brings together people who are passionate about requirements engineering, specifications, and AI.
Look forward to practical insights, inspiring discussions, and new connections within the German community.
The Software Quality Forum (SQF) conference, organized by the Italian Software Testing Qualifications Board (ITASTQB), is an annual event for executives and professionals from companies that rely heavily on software services.

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.
