A unifying architecture for roadmaps frames a value scorecard

Abstract

The term "Roadmap" is used in many ways, most often describing a plan for the future, but with widely varying objectives and styles. A unifying architecture is presented for roadmaps in technology management and business domains. This architecture is in turn used as a frame- work to define a forward looking scorecard for "Road- mapping," the team activity of learning and communica- tion that underpins a successful plan.
