Visio Roadmap

Simple, 5 workstream Visio roadmap template

Why Visio Roadmaps are the best way to communicate plans – clear, concise, and workstream-based… Leave your Gantt at home!

Here it is – the Visio Roadmap Template.

Due to the popularity of our roadmap templates, we’ve also added a scenario: “Creating your project roadmap“

Roadmaps are fast becoming the preferred way for project, programme and portfolio managers to communicate project plans.

Why are Visio Roadmaps the best way to communicate plans?

This is because Visio Roadmaps provide:

  1. At-a-glance understanding of plans
  2. A sense of capacity
  3. A clear indication of allocation of project capacity
  4. A sense of priority
  5. A clear deliniation of workstreams
  6. Clear indication of dates and milestones

This is because Visio Roadmaps are a “1-pager”

  1. You have the plan, on 1 page, without complicated Gantt formatting
  2. Your stakeholders can hand them around
  3. Your stakeholders can talk around them, easily
