Automotive Requirements Engineering - Introduction

Overview of requirements engineering for OEMs and suppliers, focusing on automotive industry-specific challenges.

Project team members in the automotive industry often face challenges in analyzing and managing requirements. This training provides participants with an overview of requirements engineering for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers, with a focus on industry-specific challenges.

We will share insights about the quality criteria for requirements, particularly the analysis and specification of those requirements. The training will introduce techniques, methods and tools to efficiently specify, document, review, assess and manage requirements. We will provide practical examples and exercises to deepen participants’ understanding of these methods and techniques.
