Optimizing your roadmap consists of 7 steps
- Determine exactly where it is you want to go or the outcome you want to create.
- Find many different paths to where you want to go or to create the outcome you want.
- Understand that some paths will fail.
- Determine objectives that can satisfy multiple paths.
- Create assets that you can use on many paths.
- Achieve objectives that satisfy many paths.
- Continually determine the best path forward.
Following this process where you are creating assets and objectives that satisfy many paths results in many paths being available when things change.
If you are only focused on one path you may get stuck on that path.
