The roadmap tool looks at Infrastructure's current capacity, technology, and in-flight initiatives, and helps categorize and visualize the project work. Use this tool as an accompaniment to the blueprint Build the Business by Building an Infrastructure Roadmap.
Please note that this tool requires Microsoft's Power Pivot add-in to be installed if you are using Excel 2010 or 2013. The scatter plot labels on tabs 5 and 8 may not function correctly in Excel 2010.

I really like this infrastructure roadmap tool, how do I add more servers? it only has three location and I have about 30 servers.
Thank you very much for your comment. The tool has been updated to include more room for storage and servers, and should now be a little more flexible when inputting answers in these sections.
Government compliance is tricky and always a little political. I can see aspects of the tool that would be very useful. Some aspects simply appear to be busy-work. I don't mind using a tool if it provides some value but I do not like doing things just to satiate the State auditor or the work (tool) does not help us be better, cheaper or more secure. Value is one aspect that a lot of the tools from Info-tech do provide. I wouldn't say all the tools you provide get 5 stars from me but most of them at lease get a thumbs up from me.
Thank you for your feedback on this tool. It has been passed along to the analysts who built it.
