Abstract The major challenges for most organizations that use roadmaps are to keep a roadmap alive. Under today’s fast-changing market and economic conditions, organizations have to effectively adjust themselves as the changes of internal and external environment always impact an organization’s strategies and roadmaps. There is a clear interest from the management to know whether their roadmaps are still valid to the changing situations or whether there is a need to adjust their roadmaps. Therefore, it is important to assess the impacts of changes on the status of a roadmap which will indicate whether a roadmap needs to be slightly adjusted, totally revised, or just kept it unchanged. The management would also like to take proactive actions in monitoring the status of a roadmap and calling for an immediate action to review or revise a roadmap as major changes affect rather than waiting for the next periodical review schedule. This paper proposes the conceptual framework to determine the status of a technology roadmap by evaluating the impacts of changes from both internal and external environment.

评估变更对路线图状态影响的概念框架

摘要 大多数使用路线图的组织面临的主要挑战是保持路线图的活力。在当今瞬息万变的市场和经济条件下，组织必须进行有效的自我调整，因为内部和外部环境的变化总是影响组织的战略和路线图。管理层很想知道他们的路线图对于不断变化的情况是否仍然有效，或者是否需要调整他们的路线图。因此，重要的是评估变化对路线图状态的影响，这将表明路线图是需要稍微调整、完全修改还是保持不变。管理层还希望采取主动行动来监控路线图的状态，并呼吁在重大变化影响时立即采取行动审查或修订路线图，而不是等待下一次定期审查时间表。本文提出了通过评估内部和外部环境变化的影响来确定技术路线图状态的概念框架。
