Plan a year month-by-month using Gantt Chart-style roadmap
The one year roadmap template is a strategic planning tool designed to visualize and track the progress of initiatives over time. It helps teams organize their work and ensure alignment towards shared goals and milestones.
A one year roadmaps enable you to scope your work across one calendar year.
Clearly visualize future work for a team
Map team goals to a calendar
Assign tasks and milestones
Track progress over time
Kick off the activity with an icebreaker or warmup to engage team members and set a collaborative tone.
Introduce each section of the template and its purpose. The core components of the one year roadmap template are:
The months of the year
A row for each project, goal, or team
Corresponding initiatives and tasks
You may need to adjust the timeline, depending on what time of year you are performing this activity.
Add a heading to each row to represent a specific project, goal, or team.
Draw from existing data or brainstorm tasks related to each project, goal, or team.
After you complete the roadmap, review it for accuracy and feasibility, then align on next steps.
Be consistent: Decide if each row will represent projects, goals, or teams. Pick one and stick with it throughout the activity.
Align tasks to the timeline: Some tasks may span many months, others will be more discrete. Be sure that the tasks line up with the correct months on the timeline.
Think about dependencies: Consider which projects and tasks depend on each other and assign them to the timeline accordingly.
