This past year has certainly shown us that organizations need to be focused on their strategy. It seems easy enough; leaders develop strategies then the entire organization works together to deliver on that vision. But in reality, we know that things aren’t that simple. According to Gartner research* only 12% of communications teams believe their strategic plans are good at supporting their company’s top priorities.
To overcome this problem, organizations need to execute in two key areas; aligning investments to business value and the communication of the plan. ServiceNow’s new Alignment Planner Workspace with Roadmap Planning provides support for both of these disciplines.
Firstly, Roadmap Planning enables portfolio managers to visual plan from the top down. Roadmap items can be grouped and color-coded to provided powerful insight. For instance, all roadmap items can be grouped by strategic and then color code for priority.
In addition, information can be displayed directly on each roadmap item. This provides another layer of information enabling better planning.
Roadmaps can be shared with various stakeholders across the organization providing a simply yet effective way to communicate the plan.
Alignment Planner Workspace is available today in the ServiceNow Store.
Use ServiceNow’s new Roadmap Planning functionality to ensure your organization gets to its destination!
