Sample Roadmap: Introduction
This is a “sales” roadmap, which is designed to show customers that your company has a plan, and that the plan makes sense
We’re assuming two product lines: Desktop teleportation software suitable for tele-transporting
1 or 2 people Mainframe teleportation software for entire corporate
departments, e.g. for the annual Sales meeting Normally, there are lots of development projects which
do NOT fit nicely into a customer story. Grouping your projects into customer-friendly stories is half the work For each product and release, look for a “release theme” or
other story that knits the R&D items together Show the requirements which match up against the features
and improvements that you have scheduled Last slide has an internal engineering roadmap for
contrast

Internal Development Schedule
Internal project map is not for customers
Usually has many steps, milestones
Schedule assumptions are often aggressive
Don’t confuse internal project roadmaps with “customer-friendly” external roadmaps
