Digital Design Professional
In the age of digitalization, our world is increasingly changing. With it, the expectations for innovative digital solutions are also increasing. To meet these expectations, the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB) has developed the new Digital Design Professional (DDP) certification program in collaboration with recognized experts from IT, product and industrial design, based on the Bitkom Digital Design Manifesto.
The goal is to close the gap that exists today between the demanding design challenges of digitization and the necessary technical know-how in design.
The digital should be understood as a malleable material, such as wood or metal. With this understanding and the acquisition of design and cross-sectional competencies, a complete view of digitalization will be made possible and innovative and high-quality digital solutions will be promoted.
