At the first Project Management meeting, @mrz walked me through how he likes to make road maps, and I think it’s pretty cool. We’ve started drafting a similar vision and roadmap for our team, and obviously need your input.
You can see our draft on Confluence here.
Vision, Mission and Strategy##
At the top of the page we have defined the overall vision, mission, and strategy for the team. @mrz, let me know if I haven’t defined these well! I think they’re easier to understand when looking at what we’ve selected for each of these boxes.
Vision: This is the change you want to see in the world.
Mission: This is what you want to accomplish towards achieving that vision
Strategy: Is how you are going to pursue your mission
##Road Map##
The road map should be organized into what we’re calling “Pillars.” These are themes or boxes that your activities can be isolated into. You can have a few, but in our case I think it makes sense to have a pillar for each isolated project we’re working on. Though you can see I’ve also included “Documentation” which reaches across projects.
This is very much in a brainstorming phase, and I could use your help coming up with ideas for more pillars, or ideas for things that would combine well into a single pillar.
