Key Benefits of Roadmapping and Roadmaps

The key benefits of using roadmapping are that they:

  • Aid delivery of effective technology exploitation, acquisition and insertion.
  • Aid risk reduction through identification and visualisation to a degree consistent with delivering an acceptable level of system performance to required time and cost targets.
  • Provide joined up technology planning between the Sponsor, the Research Community, Acquisition teams and Industry.
  • Lead to more effective decision making, through better communication, clarity of thinking, alignment and visibility of programmes or activities.
  • Identify key synergies, dependencies and gaps within a strategic plan, in order to expose risks or issues more readily.
  • Improve communication, which becomes particularly effective across disparate teams and organisational boundaries.
