Requirement engineering & innovation
In the development of technical products, particularly in regulated environments such as medical technology or industrial systems, requirements engineering (RE) forms the foundation for quality, efficiency and innovation. We support you in the precise definition, documentation and traceability of all requirements, from the initial idea through to market readiness.
Working together towards the optimal product specification
We guide you from the first workshop through to an audit-ready requirements specification. Our requirements engineers speak the languages of developers, designers, regulatory affairs and business, and translate requirements into viable solutions.
Understanding Requirements Right from the Start
A successful product begins with a clear understanding of customer and user needs. We facilitate interdisciplinary workshops, analyse use cases and jointly define both functional and non-functional requirements for your product. Our methodical approach ensures that all stakeholders are aligned and that any trade-offs are identified early.
Structured Requirements Documentation
We use established requirements-engineering tools to document requirements in a transparent and testable manner. Our methodology breaks down requirements into system, subsystem and component levels, aligned with your product architecture. This creates a solid foundation for product design, development and validation—enabling both efficiency and targeted innovation management.
Traceability and Change Management
In regulated fields—such as medical devices—complete traceability between requirements, risks, design decisions, tests and approval documents is essential. Our approach delivers automated traceability reports and professional change management throughout the entire product life cycle.
