break out from your shell of comfort
an integral part of learning to ride is learning to fall!
to make something really great you have to fail!
The trick is to prepare, mitigate the risks and quickly stand up again when knocked down!

Let the numbers speak!
Since 2007, more than
22,300 professionals in 59 countries have passed the CPRE Foundation Level
examination.
Based on these figures,
the CPRE certificate can rightly be regarded as the leading
certificate in Requirements Engineering!
In September we
have exceeded 22,000 certifications in the Foundation Level!
In total 29,458
exams
and 22,391 certified CPRE-FL
in 59 countries.
The passage rate is at 75.9%.
The rather weak
start of the year was due to low request for training in Europe for all kinds
of certifications
Q4 started very well for IREB
Below is the
overall evolution of the CPRE FL exams per year since 2007. 2015 January -
September
the latest
figures of the IREB CPRE examinations.
We believe in transparency .. Let the numbers speak!

IREB CPRE FL questions
I had an IREB prep course and created some questions from the IREB CPRE course.

Requirements work feels sometimes as an obstacle course
...and sometimes the certification itself feels almost impossible!
we will offer certification prep-sessions
for those who did not get on the right side of 60% the first time ...
for those who did not get on the right side of 60% the first time ...
the plan is to reserve the Monday afternoon (13-17:30)
before every planned IREB course
Then you can do the exam the Monday the week after!

...nästan 27 000 examinerade!
"För att kunna prioritera och bygga rätt funktioner, med rätt nivå av kvalitet och samtidigt följa gällande standard, lagar och verksamhetsregler, så gäller det att förstå och visualisera intressenter och målgrupper, identifiera de (viktiga) flöden som hänger ihop med funktionerna och deras specifika kvalitetsattribut. För att göra det enkelt att utveckla och förvalta en produkt, krävs en helhetssyn och ett fokus på de kunskapsenheter som verkligen krävs för att det automatiska systemet ska leverera mätbar nytta för de prioriterade målgrupperna.
IREB CPRE certifieringen inom Kravingenjörsskap ger de verktyg som krävs för att skapa en strömlinjeformad och väl fungerande, nyttoproducerande organisation."
IREB går från klarhet till klarhet - nästan 27 000 examinerade!
Även fortsättningskurserna (CPRE AL - Advanced Level) börjar ta fart med över 1000 examen i 3 olika fortsättningskurser
RE Magazine #2 för 2015 kommer ut 30 April

call for papers! - MODEL-DRIVEN REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING (MoDRE) WORKSHOP AT RE 2015
MODEL-DRIVEN REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING (MoDRE) WORKSHOP AT RE 2015
Co-located with the 23nd IEEE International Requirements Engineering
Conference in Ottawa, Canada, August 24, 2015
http://www.modre2015.ece.
The Fifth International Model-Driven Requirements Engineering (MoDRE)
workshop continues to provide a forum to discuss the challenges of
Model-Driven Development (MDD) for Requirements Engineering (RE). Building
on the success of MDD for design and implementation, RE may benefit from
MDD techniques when properly balancing flexibility for capturing varied
user needs with formal rigidity required for model transformations as well
as high-level abstraction with information richness. MoDRE seeks to explore
those areas of requirements engineering that have not yet been formalized
sufficiently to be incorporated into a model-driven development
environment. Reuse of requirements models and management of requirements at
runtime become distinct possibilities with MDD and model transformations.
This workshop intends to identify new challenges, discuss on-going work and
potential solutions, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of MDD approaches
for RE, foster stimulating discussions on the topic, and provide
opportunities to apply MDD approaches for RE.
Accepted papers will become part of the workshop proceedings and will be
submitted for inclusion into the IEEE Digital Library.
IMPORTANT DATES (all deadlines 23:59:59, Baker Island time)
Tuesday, June 2, 2015: Deadline for abstract submission
Tuesday, June 9, 2015: Deadline for paper submission

about awesomeness :-)
I have said it before...part of beeing successful in RE and BA is the be PROUD and CONFIDENT of the methods applied and the work beeing done...
It is NOT the same thing as always doing the right thing.
But we are confident and proud of our knowledge base AND we have an open mind with thousands of virtual eyes and ears to enhance the feedback loop and "make things work!"
... so the two posters below are true, I am sure you all agree :-)

om SPISEC metoden!
Jag skrev en liten blogg och gjorde ett TÄNK!-papper på SPISEC som jag använt mig av på ett framgångsrikt sätt under några stora utredningar under det senaste året.
Givetvis är det en vidareutveckling och en tvist på SPIN-modellen! Akronymen SPIN står som bekant för Situation - Problem - Inverkan (Impact) - Nytta (Net-benefit)
Historik:
Företaget Huthwaite med Neil Rackham i spetsen, utförde en omfattande genomgång av stora komplicerade säljflöden och analyserade över 35 000 inspelade säljsamtal. Resultatet sammanfattades i en enkel hypereffektiv modell: SPIN-modellen. Och givetvis skrev han flera böcker om modellen, bland annat ”Spin Selling” (1988).

new advanced level IREB stuff !!!
the syllabus to CPRE Requirements Management Advanced Level is out!
You may download the (German) document from the download section of the IREB website.
Exams for the Advanced Level Requirements Management can be taken from March 1, 2015 on. The handbook (study script) is in the final review and will be published most likely in May/June 2015.
The syllabus, handbook and exams are in German at the moment, but translation to English is expected to be done in 2016.
Translation of the Advanced Level Requirements Modeling to English is ongoing.
It is expected to be published in summer 2015!

Wunderlist BLOG
I have always liked the Wunderlist team...and their blog is an interesting read!
here is one article to look at: https://www.wunderlist.com/blog/silence-vs-communication/
AS I often state, you can try to be "agile" but it is even better that you use COMMON SENSE and use what works for you!
get inspired!

crowdflower... mätningar och analyser med crowdsourcing tänk!
Begreppet "crowdsourcing" myntades av
WIRED duon Jeff Howe and Mark Robinson och är en sammanslagning av "crowd" och
"outsourcing". Crowdsourcing skiljer sig från begreppet outsourcing i
och med att gruppen “the crowd”, allmänheten, inte är definierad i förväg.
(Se: "The Rise of Crowdsourcing" av Jeff Howe och Mark Robinson från 2006, http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.06/crowds.html)

Det är en modell
som kan samla kunskap, engagemang och idéer och ger ofta en hävstångseffekt för
nya smarta sätta att genomföra olika aktiviteter och angripa problem på,
aktiviteter som tidigare inte kunnat finansieras eller varit möjliga att
genomföra av anställda personer.
