Note: This is the first in a series of guides for CEOs, board members, and investors to help them better manage technology teams and products. This guide is particularly applicable for leadership of companies that are not technology companies but have internal and external products and processes that are heavily reliant on technology and delivering great technology experiences to their customers.
A technology roadmap is a commonly misunderstood term in business. For the most part, CEOs, Boards of Directors, and Investors see a roadmap as a plan for a business to grow. A technology roadmap is different. Because of the complexities of building great technology products and infrastructure, a technology roadmap must be more carefully designed and implemented than a broader company roadmap. It must be both high-level enough that non-technical folk can understand it but also sufficiently technical that engineers can interpret it and apply it to myriad minute details.
