The roadmap architecture is key, providing a structure and common language to support the capture and sharing of diverse perspectives
Architecture example Context: High tech start-up company, focusing on one product platform in the electronics sector System integrator Features of architecture: The company is several stages removed from the end consumer in the value chain, Module integratorso additional layers have been included in the roadmap near the top to ensure that the / manufacturer demand-side requirements and drivers can be mapped and understood The high level product layer (and the associated manufacturing process) is separated into two broad categories, allowing major programmes to be shown, together with the process performance targets for the planned product developments The components that comprise the product are shown, including related activities and services Suppliers are critical for achieving the business goals, and so this aspect is given prominence through its own layer The time horizon includes details of quarterly periods, looking forward five years, to ensure that shareholder expectations are clearly represented
