Create an IT roadmap

Generate real business value

IT makes the business go. You provide the critical technology — including security, productivity, and communication tools — that enables your company to achieve its vision. Not only do you have to keep things running smoothly right now, but you also have to plan what the organization will need for the future. This requires having a clear IT strategy and a timeline to accomplish it. Set goals and initiatives in a purpose-built workspace in Aha! Roadmaps to capture the big areas of investment needed to power company growth. Then create a visual roadmap and share it with the rest of the organization — so you can gain alignment on priorities and make hard trade-off decisions.

Define your IT strategy

Create awesome user experiences

Gather feedback on the effectiveness of internal applications. Use a private ideas portal to streamline the way you collect, review, and prioritize incoming requests. This way, everyone in your organization can submit new ideas or vote and comment on existing ones — making it easy to understand their needs. Categorize feedback by department and identify key opportunities to improve productivity and efficiency. Quickly and objectively say “no” to requests that do not align with strategic IT goals and promote those that do directly to your roadmap. Automatic notifications keep your colleagues informed of status — building transparency and goodwill.

Power innovation across your organization

Roll out IT projects on time

Every IT team knows that there are more projects that need attention than people and time to get it all done. Aha! Roadmaps includes powerful capacity planning functionality — so you can visualize the team's workload and set realistic delivery dates. Bring clarity to the way you plan and implement complex rollouts by standardizing release templates, workflows, and approval processes. Then capture every date, deliverable, and dependency needed to ensure project success. Create an interactive Gantt chart to keep track of all the details and share it with cross-functional teams so everyone knows the plan for releasing new tools and updates.

Efficiently manage IT releases

Highlight your impact

Technology is at the core of achieving better business outcomes — for customers and employees alike. Create a dashboard in Aha! Roadmaps to showcase how IT is contributing value. Track progress against goals and KPIs in real time to demonstrate the impact of strategic investments. Report on delivery data — including the status of initiatives, roll-out progress, and the number of monthly updates shipped for each department. Add live views of reports and roadmaps to presentations and share them with leadership and other internal teams. This makes it clear how you are partnering with the business to drive success — both today and in the future.
