Additionally, it addresses essential process elements in Agile product development and highlights the motivation for incorporating Agile practices into a development process.

A key focus area is the synergy between Requirements Engineering and Agile: understanding how Agile principles apply to Requirements Engineering and fostering an Agile mindset aligned with core Requirements Engineering values.

The Examination

This course serves as the foundation for the RE@Agile Primer examination. Two examination options are available:

• A proctored multiple-choice examination that leads to an official RE@Agile Primer certificate, similar in format to the CPRE Foundation Level and Advanced Level examinations but with a 40-minute duration.
• An online multiple-choice self-assessment that provides confirmation of participation.

This Advanced Level Module, RE@Agile, is designed for Requirements Engineers and agile professionals. It focuses on understanding and applying practices and techniques from the Requirements Engineering discipline within agile development processes, as well as integrating concepts, techniques, and essential process elements of agile methodologies into Requirements Engineering workflows.

Introduction and Overview of Requirements Engineering for Government

Model-Based Development (MBD) is a software development methodology designed to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of developing dynamic systems such as control systems, signal processing, and communication systems. This approach emphasizes graphical modeling over traditional text-based programming.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to apply MBD methodologies to reduce development costs and accelerate the time-to-market for their embedded software products, specifically tailored for government applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Select and utilize appropriate tools for implementing MBD in their projects.
• Leverage MBD to facilitate rapid development during the early stages of their embedded software projects.
• Expedite the release of their embedded software into the market, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows and governance requirements.

Format of the Course

• A combination of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice to ensure practical application of MBD principles for government projects.
