Steps

Step Tool guidance

1. Create the program or solution roadmap

When the project area is created, a default roadmap "plan" is created.  It should be renamed to match your program name.

a. In the web interface, click Plans > All Plans > Program Name (rename) Roadmap

b. Change the name to match your program.

You can add descriptive text to the Notes page.  See Text formatting syntax for plans.


Adjust the default settings as follows:

  1. View as: WSJF Ranked List
  2. Click on the Edit Plan View icon
  3. Click on  More
  4. Use Group drop-down box, change Group to Exclude. Keep default Expression, then enter type:"Program Epic" 

2. Inform the team

Inform the team how they can access the Roadmap.

There are many different ways to inform the team, including meetings and email.

If you want confirmation that everyone on the team has reviewed the Roadmap, add them as reviewers to a work item, along with instructions on where to find the Roadmap and what to review.

(If the project created work items using the "Program Initiation" work item template, then there will be a work item "Create a Roadmap" that you should use).
