Strategic Technology Roadmap Worksheets
We all know that technology commercialization success starts with the end in mind, a product with market viability.
We all know that technology commercialization success starts with the end in mind, a product with market viability. However, it’s not always clear at the outset what the defense and the commercial market want from your product. Successful companies find a way to create a living technology development strategy that evolves as you learn more about your market and customers.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to flip the narrative on traditional technology development by creating the first draft of your living technology roadmap. The roadmap will give focus and purpose to your R&D efforts, while providing your team with clear decision pathways. The technology roadmap will become the foundation of your company’s strategic plan, guiding everything from funding strategy to staffing plans.
At this workshop, you’ll learn how to maintain the roadmap as a living document within your company. You’ll also learn how to build a team to own the roadmap and guide its execution. Finally, you’ll begin to translate your roadmap into an actionable business strategy that’s rooted in your company mission and vision.

Prune the Product Tree Template
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Product Management
Prune the Product Tree (also known as the product tree game or the product tree prioritization framework) is a visual tool that helps product managers organize and prioritize product feature requests. The tree represents a product roadmap and helps your team think about how to grow and shape your product or service by gamifying feedback-gathering from customers and stakeholders. A typical product tree has four symbolic features: the trunk, which represents the existing product features your team is building; the branches, each of which represents a product or system function; roots, which are technical requirements or infrastructure; and leaves, which are new ideas for product features.
English Grammar Timeline Builder
The English Grammar Timeline template helps you map out the progression of grammar concepts over time. This is a great tool for educators and students to visualize the sequence and relationship between different grammar topics, making learning and teaching more effective.
Flowchart Template
Works best for:
Flowcharts, Mapping, Diagrams
Trying to explain a process or workflow to your team — or just wrap your head around it yourself? Sometimes the best way is to see it, and that’s when you create a flowchart. Using common shapes (generally just ovals, rectangles, diamonds, and arrows), a flowchart shows you the direction a process or workflow goes and the order of steps. Beyond giving you a clear understanding, you’ll also be able to see potential flaws and bottlenecks, which helps you refine and improve your process and create a better product more efficiently.
