Technology and Strategy
Roadmapping Implementation Kit
Deciding which
new products and technologies to invest resources in is one of the
toughest challenges for many product developers. Strategic
roadmapping is one of the most powerful means of not only guiding
these decisions, but also aligning them within the organization.
At Boeing
Commercial Airplanes, roadmapping has resulted in a dramatic
improvement in R&D effectiveness; boosting both innovation and
cross-functional collaboration (internal and external). For Boston
Scientific, roadmapping has been instrumental for aligning business
and market needs and managing risk. At Agere Systems, roadmapping
has helped to identify and leverage technology and market gaps.
Many other
companies are deriving great benefits as well. The Technology and
Strategy Roadmapping Implementation Kit is a guide based on
practitioner insights and experience which will help your
