Portfolio Roadmapping
WHEN YOU NEED TO NAVIGATE THE FOREST WHILE ALSO SEEING EACH TREE.
Portfolio Roadmapping is a planning process that leverages Innovation Games® to help management teams make thoughtful and logical portfolio strategy decisions. Our approach help get multiple teams aligned around market opportunities, technologies and platforms and moving ahead towards the long term business goals and objectives.
Portfolio Roadmapping is the right solution for your company if:
- You don’t have a portfolio plan or process for creating one.
- You have a complex set of platform and or product relationships and dependencies that need to be coordinated.
- You want to get your product teams on the same page.
Engagement Model and Deliverables
Portfolio Roadmapping is a 4 step process.
- Planning. You would work with someone from the Innovation Games® team to assess your situation and product portfolio and create an execution plan that may include in-person collaboration sessions as well as the use of our online tools.
- Generate 1st draft. Using your existing product plans and ideas as a starting point, we would engage the larger community and invite them to contribute and collaborate to incorporate their ideas and perspectives.
- Fill info gaps. Often the creation of the 1st draft creates more questions than answers. Therefore, we work with you to fill in those informational and decision gaps as best as possible.
- Publish & promote. Finally we re-convene the team to iterate on the draft to incorporate the new information and to create a version that everyone is prepared to execute against. We then make sure you have a plan to communicate your plans to others as needed.
As a result we deliver a portfolio roadmap that is aligned with corporate goals and has been created with a high level of visibility and stakeholder engagement.
