Roadmap Planning Workshop

A roadmap planning workshop turns findings into sequenced platform work. The goal is a realistic backlog with owners, dependencies, and decision points.

Inputs

Bring:

  • Discovery findings.
  • Maturity scores.
  • Risk register.
  • Known business deadlines.
  • Existing funded initiatives.
  • Staffing and ownership constraints.

Agenda

Topic
Goals and planning horizon
Review top risks and opportunities
Score and group backlog items
Sequence 30, 60, and 90 day outcomes
Identify dependencies and decisions
Confirm owners and next steps

Prioritization prompts

  • What reduces the most production risk fastest?
  • What unblocks multiple teams?
  • What must happen before a migration?
  • What can be done reversibly?
  • What decision or owner is missing?
  • What will be painful if deferred another quarter?

Outputs

  • Ranked backlog.
  • 30, 60, and 90 day roadmap.
  • Decision list.
  • Dependency map.
  • Owner list.
  • Risks accepted or deferred.

Watchouts

  • Do not roadmap work without accountable owners.
  • Do not overfill the first 30 days.
  • Keep urgent stabilization separate from strategic modernization.
