Project Roadmap
The project roadmap is a high-level visual summary of the life cycle phases, key deliverables, management reviews and milestones. Typical information includes:
- Project life cycle phases
- Major deliverables or events in each phase
- Significant milestones
- Timing and types of reviews
The project roadmap can receive information from the project charter and the project management plan. In particular, the key deliverables, project life cycle, management reviews, and scope and schedule baselines.
It provides information to
- Project schedule
- Risk register
- Milestone list
The project roadmap is not listed as an output in the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition. If it is developed it would be in conjunction with the project management plan. It is developed once, and then only changed if dates of the key events, milestones, or deliverables change.
Tailoring tips
Consider the following tips to help tailor the project roadmap to meet your needs:
- For large and complex projects this will likely be a separate standalone document.
- For smaller projects the project roadmap may serve as the project management plan.
Alignment
The project roadmap should be aligned and consistent with the following documents:
- Project management plan
- Milestone list
| Document element | Description |
| Project life cycle phases | The name of each life cycle phase |
| Major deliverables or events | Key deliverables, phase gates, key approvals, external events, or other significant events in the project |
| Significant milestones | Milestones in the project |
| Timing and types of reviews | Management, customer, compliance, or other significant reviews |
