What is a business roadmap?
A business roadmap is a proven product to communicate changes and directions in technology, and strategy together with the main phases, stages and activities. A business roadmap can be seen as high-level planning, focused on communicating the change.
Creating a Business Roadmap for you in Collaboration
We have created a service for you, that if you want, we can create one or more business roadmaps for you. You and your team members can give feedback on the business roadmap anytime, anywhere via the Dragon1 Viewer on your iPad and Smartphone.
The Dragon1 Platform and its specialized roadmapping tools enable close collaborations between us, like the Workplace with its messaging features, Architecture Repository, Visual Designer and Viewer.
How does it work?
Suppose you want to create a technology roadmap or strategic roadmap:
- We will first create a project or campaign together with a deadline and plan the activities or schedule the tasks to execute.
- You will then collect the necessary and available data, for instance in an Excel sheet.
- Next, we will upload the data automatically and enrich the data manually.
- Then we will build a visual roadmap using the data and you will comment on the roadmap visualization.
- We will iterate this cycle four or five times in two or three weeks.
We will be using all the important features in the Dragon1 web applications to perform the task:
In the Architecture Repository we will upload and import the data. And we will show you how to do it yourself. At any time you can take over this work if you like or want.
In the Visual Designer we will build a model using the data, build a view and visualization on top of the model. And as with the Architecture Repository, we will show you how we do that. Also, the Dragon1 Help System explains thoroughly how you can make use of the Dragon1 software. As we provide you with literally everything you need to eventually be able to do it yourself.
In the Dragon1 Viewer you will watch the published intermediate versions of the roadmap and be able to comment it. Also, there are many features to handle the roadmap: filter data, select data, view the changes made and message directly to people part of the workflow for the product.
Often a roadmap is part of a bigger plan. If you prefer you can create in time all the deliverables and a complete presentation on the Dragon1 platform, working with a single source of truth, thus increasing the quality of data you use.

Example ArchiMate Based Roadmap
With ArchiMate you can also create any roadmap model you like. The above diagrams show a gap analysis and a transition from one plateau to another. In those plateaus, you can draw all kinds of processes and applications that are changed between the plateaus.
