What is Digital Transformation Roadmap?
A strategic plan that sequences transformation initiatives over time with clear milestones.
A digital transformation roadmap is a strategic plan that sequences transformation initiatives over time, connecting them to business objectives with clear milestones, owners, and dependencies. Unlike static PowerPoint presentations, an effective roadmap is a living document that adapts when priorities shift. It typically includes phases (quarterly or semi-annual), prioritized initiatives within each phase, dependency mappings, resource allocations, and success metrics. The roadmap should be the direct output of a prioritization exercise, not a wish list. Organizations that build roadmaps without first conducting maturity assessments and scoring initiatives often produce plans that look impressive but fail during execution because they don't account for capability gaps or sequencing constraints.
