Product Roadmap

2002 The Albright Strategy Group, LLC

Roadmap Planning in Four Steps


Know-why
Market and Competitive Strategy
Understand customer buying behavior (customer drivers) and feasible strategies. Target key segments. Identify competitors, complementors, and partners.

Know-what
Push (capabilities)

Product Roadmap
Pull (requirements, drivers)

Decide how the product will be differentiated to win in key segments. Translate overall customer drivers into product drivers for this specific product. Set multi-year targets.

Know-how

Technology Roadmap

What technologies are most important? Link product drivers to hardware, software, and manufacturing technologies. Identify multi-generation technology investments to maintain competitiveness.

To-Do

Summary and Action Plan

What resources and investments are needed? Plan projects with the highest priorities. Are technology investments in the most important areas? Identify and track risk areas.

Why Roadmap?
Roadmapping is just good planning, with a heavy dose of technology (not just an afterthought). Roadmaps link business strategy and market data with product and technology decisions using a series of simple charts. Roadmaps reveal gaps in product and technology plans. Roadmaps prioritize investments based on drivers. Roadmapping helps set better targets: more competitive and more realistic. Sharing roadmaps allows strategic use of technology across product lines. Roadmapping communicates business, technology and product plans to team members, management, customers and suppliers. Roadmaps provide a guide to the team, allowing the team to recognize and act on events that require a change in direction.
