CI Capability Roadmap Template

A one-page interactive roadmap teams can complete to define governance layers, roles, training milestones, tooling & rituals, metrics, sustainment rules, and deployment risks for scaling continuous improvement across sites.

Interactive Tool

CI Capability Roadmap Template

Use this interactive template to capture site- or enterprise-level decisions that make continuous improvement repeatable, measurable, and locally owned. Fill the fields below to create a one-page roadmap you can copy, share, and adapt to other sites.

Enter the name of the organization, plant, or unit this roadmap applies to.
List the specific sites, production lines, or functional areas covered by this roadmap (comma-separated or short list).
Select the governance layers you plan to define and who will own them.
List proposed steering committee members and their roles/accountabilities (e.g., SVP Ops — executive sponsor).
Identify local sponsors who will unblock resources, remove barriers, and attend cadence reviews.
Name coaches, librarians, trainers, or capability leads and summarize their accountabilities (coaching, audits, playbook upkeep).
Describe required competency levels for core roles (operator, team lead, coach, auditor) and the training/credentialing pathway.
Select the primary tools and rituals you'll deploy to make CI part of daily work.
If you selected 'Other', name it here.
Short, measurable objectives for the first 90 days and who owns them (e.g., train 10 coaches, launch pilot line).
Objectives and owners for the 180-day horizon (e.g., expand to 3 sites, certify coaches).
One-year objectives and ownership (e.g., % sites with baseline capability, internal auditor program).
Choose metrics you will measure and report at governance cadences.
Record baseline values and concrete targets for the chosen metrics (e.g., CI velocity baseline = 1 experiment/month → target = 4). Use short bullet lines for each metric.
Select the cadences you will use to review metrics, coaching, and sustainment (these should map to governance layers).
Define rules for when practices become standard work, how to integrate feedback, who approves local adaptations, and how the playbook evolves.
Select common pitfalls and use the mitigation field to record countermeasures.
Describe specific actions, owners, and timelines to mitigate the selected risks.
Quick team assessment of whether you can start the rollout now.
