roadmap

To plan a roadmap for a platform migration, you must first define a crystal-clear target state. The roadmap skill enforces this target-state validation and performs risk assessment before generating a phased plan.

Target state validation in strategic roadmap planning is a gatekeeping mechanism that stops planning until a well-defined target state is established. This prevents vague, risky, or misaligned roadmaps by demanding clarity and feasibility upfront.

You create phased roadmaps with risk and dependency assessment by applying gate-by-gate planning. This approach integrates with Discovery to ensure current state alignment and provides guardrails for evaluating constraints across each phase.

Roadmap planning does not work without a defined target state. The skill acts as a gatekeeper, blocking any attempt to generate a roadmap until a concrete, well-defined target state is provided to ensure feasibility.

When do I need to use gatekeeping for system rearchitecting? You need to use gatekeeping for system rearchitecting when moving from a current state to a new platform. It enforces target-state clarity and assesses risks before allowing any phased roadmap planning to begin.
