While it can be difficult to find time to develop a strategic plan or roadmap, it provides organizations with the tools to be successful in the long-term. In this presentation, we will discuss some of the benefits and challenges that can be overcome by developing a GIS roadmap, revisiting and adjusting regularly, and using your plan to measure success. Elements of a successful roadmap will be discussed, including clearly defined goals and objectives, prioritizing activities for staff, engaging stakeholders, and more. JMT’s presentation will be told through the lens of roadmaps developed for both a mature GIS program and one that is just beginning to implement GIS.
