Download - How To Make A Roadmap
Roadmaps Business Plans fail to capture the versatility needed to maneuver through uncertainty. Roadmaps are a faster, more practical and more useful approach that leads to
results and avoids waste of time and resources.
“I am yet to know a –successful- entrepreneur that followed a business plan” Alicia Castillo
What is a Roadmap
• Systematic view of a process from thought to implementation– Flexible– Holistic– Breakable
• Originated in the Software Industry– To be evaluated, not just to be followed (it is very
adaptable)
• Manages uncertainty (more than risk)
