What does REQB stand for?
• The board includes members from thirty fi ve countries
and is responsible for the creation of the syllabus. The
board also defi nes the global rules for REQB accredita-
tion and certifi cation.
• Requirements Engineering, an aspect of Software
Engineering, focuses on identifying and analyzing
requirements for a given business problem, and in
proposing software and/or hardware solutions which
best meet those requirements.
What are the main goals of REQB?
• To create an international standard that will be recog-
nized as the common language in the discipline of
Requirements Engineering.
• To define the general requirements process as well as
its ability to be tailored for a given business content
and approach to development.
• To define a solution for a given business problem,
where the solution answers the needs of the custo-
mer. Those needs are usually expressed as business
requirements.
Examples of solutions include software systems and
services, or new or improved business processes. In
general, a solution is the implementation of the requi-
rements.
Requirements Engineering as
a factor of success
What does REQB do for me?
• Your REQB certifi cation is designed to grow as you
advance in your career. The REQB Certifi ed Professional
for Requirements Engineering comprises three levels:
Foundation, Advanced and Expert.
• In addition, there is an Agile Practitioner Extension,
which supports the principles of Agile software deve-
lopment, based on the Agile Manifesto.

How does REQB actually work?
Requirements Engineering includes processes needed
for identifying, structuring and managing requirements.
Specifi c activities covered by this process include:
• Requirements Elicitation
• Requirements Analysis
• Requirements Specifi cation
• Requirements Verifi cation and Validation
• Traceability of Requirements
• Confi guration and Change Management
• Quality Assurance
The Requirements Management process operates
within a larger context and has a strong relationship
with other disciplines including Project Management,
Analysis & Design, Confi guration Management, Testing,
and Release Management.
Where is REQB already being represented?
In more than for t y-four countries, covering all contin en ts,
REQB has been certifying people for over ten years.
How does REQB certifi cation ensure
consistent quality?
Providers of REQB Certifi ed Professional for Require-
ments Engineering Courses must be accredited by the
REQB. REQB experts review the training provider’s
course materials for accuracy and coverage of syllabus
material, and only those courses which meet these
standards and which are found to conform to the
REQB curriculum are accredited. After the completion
of an accredited course, delegates may then gain certi-
fi cation by successfully passing the Certifi ed Professi-
onal Requirements Engineering examination, which
can be taken through an independent certifi cation
institute.
Only courses which have been ac credited by the REQB
can be named as such, and are easily identifi ed by
their Accredited Training Provider logo.
