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.

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.
