roadmap

A big-picture schedule that maps out milestones, key events, reviews, and decision points over time.

Key Points

  • Shows a visual, time-based view of major outcomes and checkpoints.
  • Emphasizes milestones and decisions rather than task-level detail.
  • Aligns teams and stakeholders around sequencing, dependencies, and priorities.
  • Living artifact that is updated as plans, risks, and constraints evolve.

Example

A product team creates a 12-month roadmap for a new mobile app. It highlights discovery and prototype reviews in Q1, a beta release and security assessment in Q2, a compliance review and go/no-go decision in Q3, and a public launch with a post-launch review in Q4.

PMP Example Question

Which artifact best provides a high-level view of the timing for milestones, major reviews, and go/no-go decision points over the next two quarters?

  1. Product backlog
  2. Roadmap
  3. Risk register
  4. Sprint burndown chart

Correct Answer: B — roadmap

Explanation: A roadmap presents a high-level timeline of milestones, reviews, and decision gates. A backlog lists work items, a risk register tracks risks, and a burndown chart shows remaining work within a sprint.
