What You Will Learn
Course content: IREB® CPRE Requirements Elicitation Specialist, Level 3
This course covers the IREB CPRE Requirements Elicitation syllabus for Practitioner and Specialist certification, with a Level 3 focus on applying, analyzing, and evaluating elicitation practices in real project situations. The Specialist examination is based on a written assignment in the candidate’s own project context.
Module 1: Planning requirements elicitation
Scope and purpose of requirements elicitation in Requirements Engineering
Planning elicitation and conflict resolution activities
Short-term and long-term elicitation activities
Use of process patterns and context factors when selecting techniques
Module 2: Requirements sources
Identification and classification of stakeholders, users, documents, and existing systems
Stakeholder relationship management
Documentation schemas for stakeholders, documents, and systems
Module 3: Elicitation techniques
Questioning, observation, collaboration, and artifact-based techniques
Design and idea-generating techniques, including brainstorming, prototyping, scenarios, and storyboards
Thinking tools such as abstraction levels, problem and goal thinking, models, and mind mapping
Module 4: Conflict resolution and professional skills
Conflict identification, analysis, resolution, and documentation
Communication theory and communication models for requirements work
Self-reflection and learning from previous project experience
Training should combine instructor-led explanation, practical exercises, case discussion, and assignment preparation. After completion, participants should be able to plan elicitation work, select suitable techniques, manage requirements sources, address conflicts, and prepare evidence for the CPRE Requirements Elicitation Specialist written assignment.
Certification & Exam
Certification: This course prepares participants for the IREB CPRE Requirements Elicitation Specialist, Level 3 certification. Admission requires the corresponding CPRE Requirements Elicitation Practitioner, Level 2 certificate. The Level 3 exam is not a timed multiple-choice test; it is a written assignment based on the official task definition and a realistic project situation from the candidate’s work environment. Questions refer to the Requirements Elicitation syllabus and handbook, and candidates must show application, analysis, evaluation, and reflection.
The assignment for Requirements Elicitation is typically 10 to 20 A4 pages, may be written in English, French, or German, and is submitted as a PDF to an IREB-recognized certification body. A score of 60% is required to pass, with assessor review normally completed within six weeks. See the official IREB CPRE Requirements Elicitation source.
What You Will Achieve
Apply structured concepts to plan and carry out requirements elicitation in different project situations.
Identify, classify, document, and manage sources of requirements, including stakeholders, documents, existing systems, regulations, and other project artifacts.
Select and apply elicitation techniques, including interviews, workshops, observation, document analysis, brainstorming methods, design techniques, and thinking tools, based on the project context.
Analyze requirements conflicts and choose suitable conflict resolution techniques for specific requirements engineering situations.
Document conflict resolution results clearly so that decisions, agreements, assumptions, and open issues can be tracked in the project context.
Validate elicited requirements against stakeholder needs, business goals, and system context to reduce misunderstandings and support clearer project decisions.
Evaluate communication situations using relevant communication theories and models, including self-reflection on the role and behavior of the requirements engineer.
Reflect on the use of AI in requirements elicitation, including suitable use cases, limitations, risks, documentation needs, and the requirements engineer’s responsibility when using AI-assisted outputs.
Create a project-based written assignment that demonstrates practical use of IREB CPRE Requirements Elicitation Specialist Level 3 concepts in the participant’s own work context, aligned with the Version 3.1.0 task description.
