The Course

What you will learn.

RE@Agile Primer is IREB’s bridge between requirements engineering and agile delivery. This two-day entry course teaches requirements work that serves a Scrum or Kanban team rather than fighting it — lightweight artefacts, user-story and story-map thinking, example mapping, specification by example, and a backlog that stays healthy.

It’s for product owners, business analysts and agile team members — anyone who writes or grooms a backlog and wants requirements that are lean without losing the detail that matters. No prerequisites: it stands on its own as an entry point.

You leave able to keep just enough requirements rigour inside an agile cadence so your team builds the right thing without drowning in documentation. The official IREB RE@Agile Primer exam is included, the course is HRD Corp claimable, and it also satisfies one of the entry routes into the RE@Agile Practitioner level.

Who should attend

  • Product owners drowning in ambiguous backlog items
  • Scrum masters who want to coach requirements quality
  • Business analysts moving from waterfall to agile environments
  • Agile coaches building team capability
