The client work I do tends to cluster – one quarter the theme is building Agile PMOs, the next I can’t move for PMO Maturity Assessments. Recently it’s been all about building and reviewing Programme and Portfolio Roadmaps so I’ve spent lots of time looking at good and, more usually, bad examples of that thing we call ‘The Roadmap’.
As is often the case it is far easier to say what a ‘roadmap’ isn’t than what it is. And what it isn’t is a perfect reflection of milestones and tasks that deliver the programme.
