Now Enrolling for December 2020

The best way to improve the performance of your community is to ask for the investments you need that ensure it. But asking without context, data, or analysis is just a wish - one that is easily dismissed. A community roadmap is an effective way to educate, set expectations for, and secure budget from stakeholders.

The goal of this workshop is to create a gap analysis and roadmap draft, using industry frameworks to help stakeholders understand where you are, frame where you want to go, and collaborate to get there.

This six-session workshop includes:
  • Creating a defensible structure for community roadmaps
  • Assessment and discussion The Community Score results
  • Identifying gaps, required investments, and how to prioritize those investments
  • Developing a high-level roadmap designed to educate stakeholders and provide them with options
  • Guidance on securing stakeholder commitment and translating a roadmap into a budget
You will complete this workshop with these tactical deliverables: 
  • Results for The Community Score
  • Gap Analysis that identifies community opportunities
  • Draft community roadmap
