Background• Questions asked by:

– Customers• Business Leaders

• Technology Planners

– Legislature and Oversight Partners

– Suppliers and Vendors

– CTS Service Owners and Technical Staff

8

Background• One answer, or document, does not satisfy all points

of view:– Business perspective– Financial / budget perspective– Implementation perspective (e.g. service features

and timelines)

9

Background• Traditionally addressed by a “strategic plan”

– Large binder of documents, not easily referenced– Typically becomes “shelf-ware”

• In contrast, a Strategic Roadmap:– Delivers a concise, comprehensive overview of strategy– Answers questions “at a glance”, but at a high level– Is easily referenced and refreshed regularly– Is a tool to focus discussion and guide detailed planning
