The Examination

This course serves as the basis for the RE@Agile Primer examination. Candidates can choose from two examination formats:

• A proctored multiple-choice examination leading to an official RE@Agile Primer certificate. This format is similar to the CPRE Foundation Level and Advanced Level multiple-choice examinations but has a duration of 40 minutes.
• An online multiple-choice self-assessment that provides a confirmation of participation.

This Advanced Level Module, RE@Agile, is designed for Requirements Engineers and agile practitioners. It concentrates on understanding and implementing practices and techniques from the Requirements Engineering discipline within agile development processes. Additionally, it covers grasping and applying concepts, techniques, and key process elements of agile approaches in Requirements Engineering processes.

The Examination

This course is designed to prepare participants for the Advanced Level certification exams in the following areas:

• RE@Agile - Practitioner (the certificate involves a multiple-choice exam)
• RE@Agile - Specialist (the certificate involves a written assignment)

This three-day program is offered as a live, instructor-led session, available either remotely or in a classroom setting.

The course equips participants with methods and best practices for Requirements Engineering, enabling organizations across any business domain to adopt these techniques, with a specific emphasis on eliciting (or extracting) requirements and consolidating them through negotiation and integration.

Additionally, the course content serves as preparation for the Advanced level of certification.
