So what's in a roadmap, anyway?

From an old post (Nick Malik)

The end result is one document for each platform. Here's what I have in the template for that document:

Purpose of this Document - why write the doc
Stakeholder Chart - whose needs are being met with the solution
Signoff Chart - timestamp and id of person who signs off.
High Level Platform Capabilities - the solution capabilities demanded by the business
Business Drivers for the Capabilities - the list of business programs or business teams that will use the system
Capability Demand - which business are asking for which capabilities. An interesting grid.
Technical Interdependencies - what other systems rely on this solution. What other systems does this solution rely on?
Enterprise Architecture Concerns - what agreements have been made with EA to get alignment of the solution to EA standards.
Architectural Context - one or more diagrams showing how the solution platform will evolve over time.
Methodology - how this document and concensus was created. What meetings were held. Who was in the room. (it matters)
Roadmap schedule - what timelines everything thinks are reasonable for delivering the needs to different business customers
System Quality Attributes - what quality attributes will be stressed in each of the iterations.
Alternatives considered - what alternatives to this roadmap were considered and why this one was chosen.
Roadmap Risks - what could go wrong and who is assigned to watch for it
Platform Historical Narrative - previous decisions and narrative so that we can always answer the question: how did we ever get in a bind like this?

BUSINESS CAPABILITY

http://www.harris-management-solutions.com/business-capability.html

Effective business capability involves a business having the structure and capability that will enable it to develop and grow to reach its full potential. As well as having a good organizational structure, the business needs to have good governance, clear lines of accountability, and have effective leadership.

Once a sound strategy and a business plan is developed, it will become clear what capabilities the business will need for the future. The key things that need to be considered regarding organizational capability are:

• The ownership structure of the business

• The business competences that are needed to compete effectively in the marketplace

• Capability development stages

• The design of the management and organizational structure

• Strategic alliances

• Access to professional advisors

• The responsibilities of business owners, principals or directors

• Business risks and business continuity.
