Slide decks do not change systems. Attach every initiative to an owner, a budget and a metric.
Work back from the outcome
Start with the business result, such as cost to serve or time to market, and trace the capabilities needed to move it. Technology choices come last.
Make it ownable
Each initiative needs a named owner, a business case and a benefit that is tracked after go-live. A roadmap item without an owner is a wish.
Deliver the first release early
The team that designs the roadmap should be able to deliver a quick win within 90 days. It builds credibility with the steering group and tests the assumptions in the plan.
