Calling All Systems

A Panel Discussion Program with Industry SMEs

  Requirements Renaissance:

Designing Tomorrow's Systems Today

In the face of accelerating technological advancements and complex system interdependencies, traditional requirements engineering approaches often fall short. "Requirements Renaissance: Designing Tomorrow's Systems Today" delves into the transformation of requirements development, advocating for a paradigm shift in how we approach developing requirements when engineering complex systems. The discussion additionally focuses on the significant shift from traditional, static methods of requirements documentation to a more fluid and adaptive approach, mirroring the swift pace of technological progress. This panel of experts is being brought together to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and collaborate on solutions through innovative techniques and emerging practices in capturing and managing requirements. By showcasing real-world case studies and forward-thinking methodologies, we will explore how a modernized approach to requirements can drive successful, future-ready system designs.
