A technology roadmap can help business leaders plan which, when, and why certain technologies will be onboarded. For instance, you may need a new plan implementing a security log filter. In other words, your technology roadmap plan defines your digital transformation goals and serves as a strategic guide for your business plan roadmap.

Why do you need a technology roadmap?

Think it through: Whenever you decide to introduce some new IT changes in your company, you must think of how these changes will affect your business. For instance, if you want to upgrade to new servers, you need to find out how to store the current data of every employee. This strategic planning approach aligns with effective project portfolio management practices.

Summarize your strategy: An IT roadmap makes it easier for you to present your ideas and aspirations to all your team members and business stakeholders. This way, you can seek their support. Consider using a stakeholder analysis template to identify key decision-makers and their influence levels.

Keep yourself on track: Your technology roadmap helps you keep on track during the digital transformation process. You can prepare yourself for any kinds of risks or challenges that may arise during the transformation. Implementing a program risk register alongside your technology roadmap ensures comprehensive risk management.

How to build a technology roadmap with Stackby?

Identify the goals: The first step to build a technology roadmap is to find the "why" or the reason behind incorporating a technology in your business. Ensure that this change is truly beneficial for your business. Consider conducting a SWOT analysis to evaluate the strategic implications of your technology decisions.

Determine your audience: Who is going to see this technology roadmap? Make sure you create the roadmap accordingly. Stackby allows you to visualize your roadmap in Calendar view, Kanban and Grid view so that you can build the roadmap accordingly. For comprehensive audience analysis, utilize our customer persona template.

Establish your theme: Think of the actions or initiatives that are of highest priority and should be implemented first. Prioritize every initiative on this basis using frameworks like the Eisenhower matrix for effective priority management.

Share your roadmap: Invite team members, stakeholders, etc to view or edit your technology roadmap. Stackby allows you to set permissions as you require so that you can restrict who can view, edit or update your roadmap. Complement this with meeting notes to document discussions and decisions.

Assign responsibilities: Based on your strategic roadmap, you can assign different initiatives to different team members/managers and ensure continuous progress. Use the RACI matrix to clearly define roles and responsibilities for each technology initiative.

For organizations managing multiple technology projects simultaneously, consider implementing sprint planning methodologies to break down larger initiatives into manageable tasks. Additionally, maintain visibility through IT ticket management systems to track implementation progress and resolve technical issues promptly.
