Who is the Program Roadmap template for?
This Program Roadmap template is designed to help program managers and teams across all industries to effectively visualize the strategic direction and milestones of their program. This template provides a clear structure for program managers to define their focus areas, set measurable targets (KPIs), implement related projects and track progress over time.
1. Define clear examples of your focus areas
Focus areas are the primary goals and objectives of the program. It is important to define clear focus areas in order to help the program stay on track and ensure that all objectives are achievable. Examples of focus areas could include organizational efficiency, customer engagement and productivity.
2. Think about the objectives that could fall under that focus area
Objectives are the specific goals that need to be accomplished in order to achieve the focus area. Objectives should be measurable and achievable in order to ensure successful execution of the program. Examples of objectives could include optimizing resource utilization or reducing operational costs.
3. Set measurable targets (KPIs) to tackle the objective
KPIs are measurable targets that can be used to track progress towards the objectives. KPIs should be set for each objective in order to monitor the program’s progress. Examples of KPIs could include decreasing average idle time or decreasing supply chain costs.
4. Implement related projects to achieve the KPIs
Projects (or actions) are the activities that need to be undertaken in order to achieve the KPIs. Projects should be related to the KPI and measurable in order to ensure successful execution of the program. Examples of projects could include implementing a scheduling system or reducing supply chain costs.
