Best Practices
✅ DO
- Align technical roadmap with business strategy
- Include time for technical debt reduction
- Plan for buffer/contingency in critical paths
- Review and update roadmap quarterly
- Communicate roadmap transparently
- Involve team in planning for buy-in
- Prioritize based on business impact
- Plan major changes during slower periods
- Document rationale for technology choices
- Build in learning & experimentation time
❌ DON'T
- Pursue every new technology trend
- Plan at 100% utilization (no buffer)
- Ignore team capability and training needs
- Make major changes during peak usage
- Lock roadmap without flexibility
- Underestimate legacy system complexity
- Skip security considerations
- Plan without resource availability
- Ignore risk assessment
- Chase technologies without business value
