Creating Business Roadmaps - Resolving Issues
The roadmapping process is very versatile and flexible. Seen below one courageous issue was resolved by a separate process before becoming an input to the main roadmap.
Business Roadmaps vary considerable in scale, type and the amount of information they communicate.
The ability to "break-out" and quickly decide a common and accepted view is a feature of the Business Roadmapping process.
The key structural elements in the picture above are based on the generic Business Roadmapping model.
The Business Roadmapping template can be used at any scale to discuss resolve different perspectives and knowledge inputs.
Your Business Roadmap should:
encourage your company to ask questions of its content and
use consensus views
to make informed decisions
In the development of most roadmaps most of the input is concentrated in the earlier years as shown.
Note the isolated cluster at bottom right. The issues raised there were teased out in the smaller roadmap format on the left. (The picture has been deliberately modified to protect the identification of layers in the left hand column.)
