technology roadmap

Most technology plans in growing businesses are project wish lists in a grid: everything is priority one, nothing has a named owner, and the document is never reopened after the first urgent client escalation. This guide sets out a template built for companies without a CIO — the seven fields each initiative needs, the two-to-three-day audit that populates them, horizons instead of fictional dates, a sequencing method that leaves deliberate slack, a worked twelve-month example with indicative UK costs, how to present capital against run cost so finance approves it, the two meetings that keep the plan alive, and the four metrics that prove it worked.
