IREB Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering – Foundation Level — Question 12

One task of the requirements engineer is negotiation of requirements. At this point, conflicts between the stakeholders may be discovered. These must then be resolved. In this process, a differentiation is made between various kinds of conflict.
Which two of the listed conflicts are least suitable for handling by the requirements engineer? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

Architectural conflicts (C) and cost conflicts (D) typically require specialized knowledge in technical architecture and financial analysis, respectively, making them less suitable for resolution by a requirements engineer. In contrast, subject matter, value, and structural conflicts are more aligned with the requirements engineer's expertise in stakeholder communication and requirements negotiation.
