Business Analysis - Requirements Engineering

Projects without clearly defined requirements are prone to costly errors and rework. This training shows how requirements engineering and business analysis work together – delivering solutions that genuinely meet user and business needs.

Key topics

  • Analysing business processes and value streams in a structured way.
  • Eliciting and organising requirements using proven methods.
  • Using modelling techniques to produce clear, consistent requirements.
  • Applying current tools, AI-supported workflows, and collaborative practices.
  • Ensuring quality, traceability, and effective change management.

Prerequisite
Experience in a project or process environment is beneficial but not essential.

Target group
Professionals in business and IT roles who need to gather, coordinate, and incorporate requirements into digital projects – from initial concept through to delivery.

Two training days that build methodical confidence – and sharpen the ability to articulate complex requirements clearly and follow them through to completion.

Frequently asked questions

  • Requirements engineering means capturing, describing, and aligning requirements in a structured way. Combined with business analysis, it bridges the gap between business departments and IT – for solutions that truly fit.
  • Precise requirements prevent misunderstandings and avoid costly rework. Training builds the ability to understand processes in depth, formulate requirements clearly, and improve project communication over the long term.
  • The programme covers requirement types, elicitation and analysis techniques, process and data modelling, stakeholder management, documentation, validation, and tools such as BPMN and UML – all methodologically grounded and practice-oriented.
  • Requirements engineering is the structural foundation of business analysis. It establishes clear starting conditions, brings order to complex projects, and is decisive in ensuring that solutions are accepted and successfully delivered.
  • The training is aimed at professionals in project management, IT, software development, process management, and quality assurance – and is especially valuable for anyone who works with requirements on a daily basis.
  • Experience in project work or with business processes is helpful but not required. What matters most is analytical thinking, a willingness to communicate, and an interest in working with requirements in a structured way.
  • Requirements engineering describes the how – the methods used to define requirements. Business analysis additionally considers the why: the business value and the context in which solutions are developed.
