The Core Role of Investment Roadmaps 
Investment Roadmaps offer a proactive approach to managing both current and future investments within an organization’s portfolio. These roadmaps are designed to align investments with strategic goals, converting high-level objectives into actionable, sequenced plans. By providing a realistic view of project timelines and focusing on desired outcomes, organizations can evaluate business cases and costs more effectively. Next-Insight excels in facilitating this process with out-of-the-box configurations, allowing enterprise architects to remain focused on outcomes while staying aligned with the organization’s strategic vision and ambitions.

The Importance of Roadmap Structuring
Investment Roadmaps are built around key architectural artefacts such as strategic goals, development teams, and product areas. By mapping targeted outcomes against indicative timelines, these roadmaps offer a comprehensive visual representation of how investments align with broader organizational objectives.
Next-Insight enables enterprise architects to drill directly into the architecture, simplifying the roadmap creation process and enhancing visibility into the overall strategy. Unlike traditional Gantt charts, which focus solely on project timelines, Investment Roadmaps emphasize outcomes and strategic goals, presenting items as plateaus that represent organizational modernization or transformation efforts. Over the past decade, roadmaps have become essential for converting strategic objectives into actionable plans, emphasizing dependencies, value contributions, and a big-picture perspective.
