The Requirements.net Podcast kicks off with Requirements Unplugged, an eight part series that examines the challenges of the Global 2000 IT in terms of building business software and how it relates to the science of requirements analysis, definition, and management.

This Podcast series is moderated by two published industry veterans: Keith Barrett, RLA Practice Manager of SkyIT Group (www.skyitgroup.com) and Matthew Morgan, Chief Marketing Officer at Blueprint (www.blueprintsys.com).

In Episode One of Requirements Unplugged, Keith and Matt provide a detailed overview of the new Requirements.net consortium, including a description of the companies behind Requirements.net, the consortium's overall mission, and an overview of the Requirements.net upcoming events and planned best practice whitepapers. In addition, Keith and Matt discuss the findings of a new survey from IAG which looks at the Fortune 500 success and failure statistics and how requirements are key to project success.
