Overview

These roadmapping sessions will be facilitated using techniques that are a result of a composite of best roadmapping practices that resulted from an NCMS eight-year collaborative project. These will be combined with mind mapping methodologies to produce our desired result. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, and decision making. The end product of
these sessions will be a set of proposed solutions and a proposed timeline
for their implementation.
