Website Project Roadmap Technique

Creating a project roadmap for a set of projects or a program is a pretty common thing as a quick google search points out but there is almost no information about to make one. I find this interesting because ongoing set of projects, often called a program, almost always has a need for a roadmap as a lightweight planning and communication tool.

The closest project management technique like the one documented here this is Technology Roadmapping. Technology Roadmapping is a product management technique, which starts by identifying a set of business need then defines a set of projects to deliver the solution at a high level. Similar to the technique I have described but adds a large strategic planning element and a lot more rigor.

Good luck finding any books on this topic. I can’t find any books that cover it specifically or generally. Let me know if you can find any.

There are very few resources on how to make a project roadmap. But technology roadmapping has some good ideas on how to mix in more strategy and rigor to the process that I have described.

Sopheon makes a software product which help with the process of technology roadmapping. And have a great article on the process.

Yeah, I know that wikipedia isn’t the most reliable source of information, but the ideas in this article are pretty good. I reviewed it on March 30, 2008.
