What you get
Why use a roadmap
- Prevents chaos by staging adoption in clear phases.
- Secures leadership buy-in with a transparent plan.
- Provides milestones and checkpoints to ensure ROI holds at scale.
How to use it
- Start with the cycle already completed and scored.
- Assign clear owners for each wave before starting rollout.
- Check progress at each checkpoint before moving to the next wave.
- Log results in the AI Portfolio Tracker to ensure visibility.
Inside the file
- Roadmap — waves (Wave 1–3+), scope, dates, owners, dependencies, and readiness checks (gantt-style view).
- Milestones & Checkpoints — entry/exit criteria, success signals, and risk flags.
- Risks & Mitigations — top rollout risks with owners and triggers.
- Comms Plan — who to brief, when, and with what message/assets.
- Portfolio Link-Up — fields to sync outcomes into your AI Portfolio Tracker.
- Poster — one-page view for leadership and town-halls.
Why it matters
Most failed rollouts happen because success in a small cycle is assumed to scale automatically. The roadmap makes adoption deliberate, staged, and measurable — protecting ROI while speeding spread.
