Business IT Services Technology Roadmap

What is a Technology Roadmap?

A Business or IT Technology Roadmap is a standard architecture product best created in the form of a static or dynamic A0-sized architecture visualization used by CxOs and IT Management.

With this roadmap, the management will have an overview for themselves and for the business of when and what new technology will be introduced in the organization.

With this roadmap of business IT services, you as an IT manager can gain more control over the agenda of innovation and renewal of IT in your organization.

A business or IT roadmap template for new technology or web services makes communicating timelines and managing expectations easy. It will prevent the business from buying ad-hoc solutions and tools and introducing unwanted and costly solutions, tools, and technology.

How is this Technology Roadmap template built up?

This technology roadmap template relates different types of information together, compliant with the Dragon1 EA & Performance Framework: 1) Strategy (Left and Bottom sections), 2) Architecture (Middle section and Right sections), and 3) Business Changes (Middle Bottom section).

In the upper middle of the business roadmap template (as part of the architecture information), a series of departments is visualized with a meaningful photo. This is done so that the department heads who visit the IT manager and see the roadmap on the wall are immediately recognized as stakeholders to provide requirements.
