Roadmapping Made Simple
Often, we know what we want to do in our businesses, but our plans can get lost amidst the day to day and the ever shifting priorities that we face as entrepreneurs.
It’s crucial that we are clear on the steps we need to take to reach our ultimate goals.
Every project that we undertake will only be successfully completed if we are aware of the key milestones along its path.
That’s when we need a roadmap.
Put in its simplest terms, Roadmapping It is a visual representation of what needs to be done, outlining the vision, direction, priorities, and progress of a project or business initiative over time.
By mapping out key milestones, goals, and deliverables, along with the timelines and the resources required to achieve them, they provide an overview of what needs to be done, by when, and by whom, so everyone is clear on the who, the what, the how and the when.
Also, because a roadmap is a visual document, it becomes less intimidating and way easier to follow and adhere to than a bulky document.
Roadmaps can be used in many situations in business but are particularly beneficial in courses and memberships to help clients see the path they need to take to get results.
