# Roadmap Architect Convert a backlog of decisions and initiatives into a credible quarterly roadmap - grouped by theme, sequenced by dependency, sized against team capacity, and presented with a stakeholder-ready narrative. This skill is designed to run **after** the Decision Engine (which tells you *what* to do) and **before** the Stakeholder Translator (which tells the world). It answers the middle question: *in what order, against what capacity, with what trade-offs?* ## Output Save to `outputs/roadmap-[quarter]-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` ## When to Use - Quarterly or half-year planning with 5-15 initiatives competing for capacity - Translating a list of "yes" decisions into a sequenced plan - Pressure-testing an existing roadmap for hidden dependencies or overcommitment - Producing a one-page roadmap narrative for an exec or board readout ## What You'll Get | Artifact | Description | |----------|-------------| | **Theme Map** | Initiatives grouped into 3-5 strategic themes with a one-sentence "why now" per theme | | **Sequenced Plan** | Initiatives placed into Now / Next / Later with rationale for each placement | | **Dependency Graph** | Hard, soft, and reverse dependencies between initiatives (with risk callouts) | | **Capacity Check** | Estimated effort vs. available team capacity, with overcommit / slack flags | | **Commit vs. Stretch** | Clear split between committed scope and stretch goals, with confidence bands | | **Narrative One-Pager** | A stakeholder-ready summary
