What is a Business Roadmap?

A Business Roadmap is a clear and structured, time-based, one page visual representation of a business planning issue. The Business Roadmap identifies, describes and aligns different stakeholder value propositions to identify and create a consensus plan to create ongoing business value. By clearly demonstrating the linkages between purpose, outputs, technology and resources, the Business Roadmap enables comprehensible and unambiguous communication from the most junior to Board level.

Why Business Roadmapping?

By linking all the critical business elements (purpose, deliverables, knowledge and resources) with one another in one graphical representation, business roadmapping communicates the plan among executives and to employees. By understanding linkages and actions, implementing the plan becomes easier.

What is the value of Business Roadmapping?

The value in business roadmapping is the clear and targeted focus which comes from a concise image of the business and its plans - saving unnecessary expenditure and waste, maximising margins and profits and ensuring both long and short term success.

What is the Business Roadmapping Process?

Business Roadmapping is a proven process to engage with the challenges, risks and complexities inherent in medium term and long term planning.

Business Roadmapping is an easy to understand, single page visual representation that focuses only on important and relevant issues and events linked within a clear time frame.

Business Roadmapping improves communication between business units enabling sharing of knowledge and information usually locked away within business silos.
