An integrated requirements process is needed to address issues with existing approaches. Requirements define strategic assets and competitive advantage, but current frameworks treat requirements as an afterthought. This leads to projects developing the wrong solutions and over 80% of errors occurring in the requirements phase. The document proposes an integrated requirements process (IRP) to ensure requirements are properly understood across organizational boundaries. Key benefits of the IRP include improved visibility, re-use, governance, and matching solutions to actual business needs rather than apparent needs of powerful stakeholders.
