IREB offers two glossaries. The 'CPRE Glossary contains the most important terms in requirements engineering for all CPRE modules and levels. The RE@Agile Glossary* complements the CPRE Glossary with terms for Requirements Engineering in the agile environment.
In addition to preparing for a CPRE exam, both glossaries also help to achieve a consistent understanding and use of terms in everyday work. This is crucial in order to communicate smoothly and unambiguously within the team, across projects, and with international partners - regardless of whether in an agile or traditional environment.
The glossaries are available in the following languages:
The definitions of terms in the glossaries are deliberately in English only, in order to exclude any vagueness or scope for interpretation that may result from translations.
A download is available at the bottom of this page.
The CPRE Online Glossary offers a faster way to find definitions and translations.
The use is free of charge and possible without registration on this website.
The document is available in Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brasil), Russian, Spanish and Swedish

Transition period
For the languages Chinese, Persian and Portuguese (Brazil), a transition period of 3 months starts from the date of release of version 1.3.0.
The transition period allows candidates to choose whether to take the exam based on the previous or current curriculum version (if a transition period exists). The purpose of the transition period is to ensure that all those preparing for the exam on the basis of the latest valid version of the syllabus are able to take the exam on the basis of this syllabus content within the transition period.
In the case of syllabus updates, a transition period allows candidates to choose on which syllabus version they take the exam.
This is to ensure that anyone who prepared based on the syllabus of a previous version can take the exam based on that syllabus content - even if a new version has already been launched.
Information on transition periods for the Foundation Level and RE@Agile Primer can be found in the text when downloading the relevant syllabus. For the Advanced Level modules, the transition periods are defined in the examination regulations.
