Integrating the tasks and objectives of your IT or operations team into a strategic-level view can make it easier for your team to recognize which items correspond with your company's broader strategic goals and which do not, and to prioritize resources accordingly.When your IT team can see its departmental projects and goals from a strategic perspective (which a roadmap can provide), they'll be better able to clean out the processes and systems that are costing the company money and redirect those resources to more forward-thinking efforts.Finally, if your IT/ops teams can see their prospects of success to the company at a glance, they'll be far more motivated to stick on top of mission-critical items that could hinder the organization's technology backbone, such as an enterprise software license that needs to be renewed or an internal system that requires to be improved by a certain date.
