Examples of road maps for different tasks
Before creating a roadmap in the service, we will determine what information we want to include there.
There are several types of road maps:
product, or scenarios of product and product line development over time;
industry, or schemes for the development of industries and market segments;
corporate, or company development plans and achievement of key indicators in time;
technological, or maps of the development of production technologies, product;
educational, or training and development programs for company employees;
project, or project strategy with the main stages.
Depending on the type of roadmap and who we are presenting it to, we choose the structure.
During the study of the project, all the data is collected in the roadmap, and the information is structured so that all interested parties can familiarize with it.
For example, you contacted a company to develop a website. In order not to ask questions and not distract programmers and designers from work, you can study the map: see at what stage the project is and if there are any problems.
Roadmaps are widely used in various business areas, from IT to construction. Roadmap clearly shows the strategy for achieving a particular goal, whether it is project implementation, business development, product creation and promotion, employee training. The advantage of the tool is its simplicity: thanks to the visual format, information is easily perceived.
Because tend to have a long lifecycle, the content of the milestones may change as the roadmap progresses. For example, sometimes unforeseen difficulties arise, due to which it is necessary to shift the deadlines. The roadmap should reflect these changes, that is, it needs to be updated.
Road card is a graphical display of development strategy. It includes stages, goals and timing of achieving tasks. On the basis of a roadmap, you can understand who reaches the goals, which are these goals and what is the deadline. The value of the roadmap in relationships between phenomena at any time interval.
