Join us, bring your questions, and take advantage of this opportunity for an open exchange with our community and our experts.
Join IREB for an afternoon of inspiration, exchange, and community spirit!
Look forward to an engaging keynote on Requirements Engineering and AI, vibrant discussions at the World Café, and relaxed networking with drinks and a flying buffet.
The IREB Community Switzerland invites the Requirements Engineering community to join an interactive online roundtable dedicated to exchanging ideas, experiences, and perspectives on current challenges and trends in RE.
The event offers an open forum for discussion, networking, and knowledge sharing among practitioners and interested parties from across the community. Moderators Gunnar Harde, Jens Müller, and Dennis Woyke invite their participants to get actively involved and join in the discussions with other professionals.
The roundtable will be held in German.
This event warmly welcomes members of the IREB Communities in the Netherlands and Belgium. It is a great opportunity to exchange ideas across borders and discuss current topics in Requirements Engineering.
The program includes sessions on Service Design, current RE practice, and an interactive discussion on AI. The evening will close with dinner and networking.
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. Key topics include requirements engineering, test automation, mobile testing, agile testing, and performance testing.
On June 25, sixteen speakers will present a variety of interesting topics.
Further details about the event can be found on its website.

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.

IREB is determinedly driving practice-relevant continuing education in Requirements Engineering and Digital Design forward. With the growing reach and success of the certification programs, your CPRE or DDP certificate is becoming increasingly sought after and valuable in the job market.
What would IREB be without a worldwide network that appreciates the added value of the CPRE and DDP certification programs and supports the training courses?
Around the world, our recognized training providers, certifiers, and partner program participants help you to expand your expertise and take a decisive step towards greater professional success.
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.
