CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of product roadmaps

Technology roadmaps address the technical foundation — infrastructure upgrades, platform migrations, technical debt reduction, and enabling technology investments. Product roadmaps focus on customer value. Both should align: technology roadmap enables the product roadmap.

**Why not A:** Technology roadmaps are not mandatory only for government projects. Organizations across all sectors use technology roadmaps to plan infrastructure investments, platform migrations, and technical debt reduction. Similarly, product roadmaps are not optional for any organization that manages product development.

**Why not B:** Technology roadmaps and product roadmaps are distinct documents with different focuses and audiences. A technology roadmap addresses infrastructure and platform investments, while a product roadmap focuses on customer-facing capabilities. They complement each other but are not interchangeable.

**Why not C:** Technology roadmaps are created by the organization's technology leadership, not exclusively by vendors. While vendor roadmaps exist, an organization's technology roadmap reflects its own strategic technical investments that enable the product roadmap's feature delivery.
