Six quarters provides adequate time\tto deliver programs that may take more than one year to complete and provides visibility into the\torganization&#8217;s longer-term strategy.&#8221;\ufffd Although the roadmap shown in Figure 9.3 identifies\tprojects that are approved\/proposed, along with projects that have been delayed from their\toriginal delivery date; for purposes of this assignment, only the projected timeframes to develop\tthe projects are required. Create a roadmap, similar to the one in the textbook, Chapter 9,\tFigure 9.3. The table below is similar to Figure 9.3; it shows the five functional areas of an\texample company and two systems for each area. To develop your roadmap, use a table like the\tone below; you can copy the table, insert the functional areas and systems that are discussed in\tthe Case Study, and use &#8220;\ufffdinsert shape &#8220;\ufffd rectangle&#8217; to insert the bars showing the timeframes for\tdevelopment of each. The functional areas and projects in development, and their timeframes\tshould be extracted from the Case Study.
