An EA roadmap is a strategic tool that visualizes an organization’s planned development in architecture, technology, and processes. For a Chief of Staff (CoS), it is important that the roadmap clearly shows milestones, dependencies, and expected values of various initiatives. In Swedish organizations, where leadership communication should be inclusive and data-driven, the EA roadmap is used to create consensus and engagement within the leadership team. CoS should involve key stakeholders in the development of the roadmap and use visualizations to make complex information easily understandable. The roadmap should also be linked to the organization’s overall strategy and show how the EA work contributes to business goals, digitalization, and compliance with legal requirements. By regularly updating and communicating the roadmap, CoS can ensure that the entire organization works towards common goals and that the change process gains broad support.
