  2. Agile Roadmap Prioritization: – Corporate Goals and Initiatives • Market Goals • Customer Feedback • Partner Input • Alpha/Beta Feedback • Market Research • Cross-functional Input • Strategic Goals • Board Template • Corporate Goals • Corporate Initiatives • Business Unit Goals • Independent Initiatives • Business Unit Goals Rolling Release Roadmap

  3. Agile Roadmap Prioritization: – Input, Review & Iterate Agile Process Iterative process begins with the roadmap priorities Roadmap leads to sprint planning Each product has it’s own development/QA cycle and plan Release planning – 1 locked, 1 in planning stage Release Management – Product/Operational Readiness Product Changes Product change captured in database - new items triaged regularly Product changes prioritized for release by cross-functional team Release Announcements Major / Minor release announcements Platform changes End of Life (if applicable)

  4. Roadmap Process – Overview • Straw-Man Roadmap • Candidate List • Tin-Man Roadmap • E-Staff Approval / Plan of Record • Iron-Man Roadmap • Features/Fixes committed by Release/Sprint • Cross-functional Rollout/Iterate • Detailed cross-functional requirements gathering • Revise base-line ROI based on input • Revise PoR until committed (consensus?) • Product Lifecycle Management • Product Readiness • Operational Readiness • Release, Rinse & Repeat • End of Life

  5. Roadmap Process – Overview Straw-Man Roadmap • Brainstormed proposal • PM creates draft  intended to generate discussion and further brainstorming • Cross-functional feedback • Cross-functional input and prioritization of Features/Epics • PM/Dev/QA JIRA Triage and Review • Prioritized Feature Candidates • Establish base-line ROI • High-level LOEs -v- Resources • Goal: • Feature/ Epic Candidates by Quarter • Architectural/Fixes/Feature mix determined • Cross-functional buy-in • Executive sign-off

  6. Roadmap Process – Overview Tin-Man Roadmap • Feature/ Epic Candidates by Release • Architectural Features by Release • Release in-planning • Feature/Epic Candidates by Release • Architectural/Fixes/Feature mix determined • Capacity / Feature Sizing • Establish base-line ROI • Cross-functional input and prioritization refinement of Features/Epics • PM/Dev/QA JIRA Triage and Review

  7. Roadmap Process – Overview Iron-Man Roadmap • Release in-development • Feature/ Epic by Release/Sprint • Architectural/Fixes/Feature Release/Sprint • Release (Sprint) Planning  Lock • Features/Epics defined in Stories • Architectural/Fixes defined in Stories • Operational Readiness – Cross-functional Release Review • Milestones set – GA Release date finalized as soon as practical

  8. ROADMAP PROCESS – Overview Convergence Roadmap – Iron Man

  9. Roadmap Prioritization: – Playground Rules All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten • Share and play fair • Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you • Put things back where you found them • Clean up your own mess • When you go out in the world… • … watch out for traffic • … hold hands and stick together

  10. Roadmap Prioritization: – Playground Rules Share and play fair • What we do impacts other systems just as we are impacted by them. • We know our product but we are also part of a larger Customer workflow - we are not the center of the universe. • Be cognizant of other systems in play – ERP; Underwriting, Claims management; reporting/data warehouses; and 3rd Party data providers – do our part to share the data we have.

  11. Roadmap Prioritization: – Playground Rules Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you • Total User Experience (not just UI) is much of what we sell and should be business process and workflow driven • End-to-end review of use cases, user feedback, POCs, and beta programs are best practices that should be employed where possible • Our solutions are complex, integrating multiple systems, and should be consumed together – We strive to deliver holistic releases

  12. Roadmap Prioritization: – Playground Rules Put things back where you found them • Be sure to consider business systems and process • If we take control of a business process, then improve it – but first, do no harm • If we ask the a source system to send us data, then we should provide the data in our control that is required by that source system in return

  13. Roadmap Prioritization: – Playground Rules Clean up your own mess • There are plenty of things we need to fix or improve – emphasize the clean-up of our mess over the mess of others • We should document and explain what we sell and sell what we document and explain • there is significant cost to selling ahead of the roadmap • Things that don’t work the way we built them or the way they are suppose to work should get our focus

  14. Roadmap Prioritization: – Playground Rules When you go out in the world… … watch out for traffic • We need to be mindful of the end-to-end and take everything we know into account when making decisions (Financial Systems, Integrations, Partners, Competitors, etc.) • Mind the Gap – When we make decisions that effect our internal and external clients, we must communicate clearly what we are doing and what we are not doing … hold hands and stick together • Ensure that we consider other platforms, products, and features in our plans • The roadmap requires coordination, communication, and teamwork
