Susan and Scott discuss requirements engineering and business analysis. Our guest is Stan Buehne from the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB). IREB is a nonprofit organization based in Germany that focuses on promoting and improving the discipline of requirements engineering.
Stan discusses the importance of requirements engineering in various industries, such as automotive, aviation, and medical domains. He emphasizes the need for precision and accuracy in documenting requirements to ensure the development of high-quality solutions. Requirements engineering also involves managing and handling changing requirements over time.
The conversation touches on the term "engineering" in requirements engineering and its association with the discipline's focus on precise documentation and creating shared understanding between stakeholders, developers, and architects.
The discussion also explores:
- the relevance of requirements engineering in agile environments and the need for value-oriented documentation and risk reduction
- the difference between user requirements and system requirements, as well as functional requirements and non-functional requirements
- the impact of AI on requirements engineering, both in terms of AI supporting the requirements engineering process and the challenges of validating AI-generated content
- the alignment of requirements engineering with the agile mindset
