Most AI roadmaps are next-quarter wishlists dressed up in a Gantt chart. This template forces the longer game — capabilities that compound over three years across foundation, expansion, and differentiation phases.

What's inside

Three-phase template (Foundation: months 1-6, Expansion: 7-18, Differentiation: 19-36) with current-state assessment, year-one quarterly plan, and the capability-building milestones for each phase.

How to use it

  1. Use it as a starting structure, not a rigid form. Templates exist to remove blank-page friction, not to constrain thinking.
  2. Customize the sections that don't fit. Anything you leave in 'just because' will haunt you later.
  3. Save your filled version somewhere durable. Templates are most valuable the second and third time you use them.
