Roadmaps – a personal view Rick Chapman October 2010
A typical roadmap Bells & Whistles, ‘See your face in it’ shiny Smaller, Cheaper, More Shiny Our First Shiny Thing time
An investor’s view Someone else’s problem I will sell the company based on this promise They are spending my cash time
A customer’s view Doesn’t match my thinking... Maybe I should wait for this one Interesting... time
Same Data, Different views
Competing Forces IMPLICATIONS? COMMITMENTS? WHAT? ADVISORS? CASE STUDIES? WHO?
Who is it for?
What is it for?
What are the implications?
What does it commit you to?
Who should you listen to?
Case Studies? Osborne Computers; Osborne 1  (myth?) Sony; PS3 Sega; Dreamcast Google; Nexus One Apple; iPod, iPhone And many more...
How to proceed A roadmap is an outcome of your strategy You will need more than one viewpoint You may need more than one roadmap
Proceed with caution Roadmaps are dangerous, proceed with caution Roadmaps are a tool, not an answer
Summary Have fun with your roadmaps Targeted Dynamic Strategic They support your business plan and strategy, they do NOT drive it
Thank You rick@parkviewconsultants.com
