In addition to our main activities consulting, coaching and to give trainings we write books.

Our goal was and is to collect experience from the consulting and coaching business to derive solutions and to make them available to you.

So, we enjoy writing and will continue to provide you with books and publications in the future.

 

Further more we developed the idea to publish little helpers - broschures and posters - under the motto "Wissen for free" (Wissen = Knowledge).These are available as PDF.

And the best part, as the name suggests, completely free.

Basiswissen Requirements Engineering

5th Edition

Chris Rupp & Dr. Klaus Pohl

As of April 1, 2021, examinations for the CPRE Foundation Level in Germany can only be taken on the basis of syllabus version 3.0.
For this purpose, the 5th edition of the book is the ideal learning aid for teaching the modified syllabus.

Anyone preparing for a certification exam to become a "Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering" or simply wishing to consolidate their existing requirements engineering knowledge will receive support from the textbook published by IREB e.V.

Written directly by the co-authors of the IREB syllabus Chris Rupp and Dr. Klaus Pohl with the support of IREB colleagues, the book aims to cover and concretely present all exam-relevant content. With the book, a targeted independent preparation is possible. However, it can also be used as an accompaniment to one of the preparation training courses offered by a training provider. The fact that we still recommend competent training by a training provider such as SOPHIST should not surprise you.

Also available in Brazlian and German.
