- Review with a checklist
What we built
Eleven Weeks In One View
- Weeks 1 to 6: landscape to pilot design
- Week 7: workflows by department
- Week 8: change and literacy
- Weeks 9 and 10: cost and operating model
- Week 11: scale and risk
Definition
What A Roadmap Is
- A time ordered plan
- What, in which order, with whom, at what cost
- How you will know it works
- A choice of a few things done well
Structure
Seven Parts Of The Roadmap
- Starting point and current use
- Priority use cases and baselines
- Build, buy or partner
- Risk and compliance, people plan
- Cost case and operating model
1 Starting point 5 People plan
2 Use cases 6 Cost and benefit
3 Build/buy/partner 7 Operating model
4 Risk and compliance
Three phases
The 90 Day Plan
- Days 1 to 30: set up and baselines
- Days 31 to 60: pilot with monitoring
- Days 61 to 90: evaluate and decide
- Each milestone has an owner, date and evidence
| Phase | Days | Evidence of done |
|---|
| Set up | 1 to 30 | Signed scope and baseline |
| Pilot | 31 to 60 | Weekly results log |
| Evaluate | 61 to 90 | Decision paper |
Days 1 to 30
Phase One: Set Up
- Confirm sponsor and council
- Finish the risk review
- Choose one or two use cases
- Measure baselines
- Prepare data access and environment
Days 31 to 60
Phase Two: Pilot
- Small group with trained users
- Monitoring and human review active
- Weekly feedback and results log
- Pause switch tested before start
Days 61 to 90
Phase Three: Evaluate And Decide
- Compare results with success measures
- Compare cost with benefit, using ranges
- Decide: stop, fix, extend or scale
- Prepare the next quarter
Protect people and budget
Stop Rules
- Agree them before the pilot starts
- Safety incidents above a set level
- Adoption below a set share after training
- Cost per outcome above the case
Lead to a decision
The Steering Committee Deck
- Ten to twelve slides
- Decision requested on slide two
- Titles are full sentences stating the point
- One chart or table per slide
- Detail goes to the appendix
Template
Deck Outline
- Decision, problem, proposal, evidence
- Cost and benefit with ranges
- Risks and controls
- 90 day plan, people and operating model
- What could go wrong, next steps
1 Title
2 Decision requested
3 Problem and baseline
4 Proposal
5 Evidence
6 Cost and benefit (low, expected, high)
7 Risks and controls
8 90 day plan
9 People and operating model
10 What could go wrong
11 Next steps and owners
How you are scored
The Rubric
- Six criteria, 100 points
- Evidence beats adjectives
- Score yourself first
- Fix the lowest score first
| Criterion | Points |
|---|
| Problem and value | 20 |
| Feasibility | 15 |
| Risk and compliance | 20 |
| People and change | 15 |
| Cost and measurement | 15 |
| Operating model and clarity | 15 |
Scoring examples
Strong Versus Weak Evidence
- Weak: significant time savings expected
- Strong: 14 minutes per ticket measured on 60 cases
- Weak: security will be reviewed
- Strong: risk owner named, review dated, tier recorded
Before you present
The Review Checklist
- Decision stated up front
- Owner, process map, baseline for each use case
- Sources and ranges for numbers
- Risks with owner, control and monitor
- Stop rules, pause switch, playbook
Keep it alive
After The Roadmap
- Review every quarter with the council
- Keep a log of decisions and changes
- Share a short update with all staff
- Keep habits: baseline, human owner, test before trust
What to remember
Recap
