roadmap

A big-picture schedule that maps out milestones, key events, reviews, and decision points over time.

Key Points

  • Shows a visual, time-based view of major outcomes and checkpoints.
  • Emphasizes milestones and decisions rather than task-level detail.
  • Aligns teams and stakeholders around sequencing, dependencies, and priorities.
  • Living artifact that is updated as plans, risks, and constraints evolve.

Example

A product team creates a 12-month roadmap for a new mobile app. It highlights discovery and prototype reviews in Q1, a beta release and security assessment in Q2, a compliance review and go/no-go decision in Q3, and a public launch with a post-launch review in Q4.

PMP Example Question

Which artifact best provides a high-level view of the timing for milestones, major reviews, and go/no-go decision points over the next two quarters?

  1. Product backlog
  2. Roadmap
  3. Risk register
  4. Sprint burndown chart

Correct Answer: B — roadmap

Explanation: A roadmap presents a high-level timeline of milestones, reviews, and decision gates. A backlog lists work items, a risk register tracks risks, and a burndown chart shows remaining work within a sprint.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.

Build an ICS/OT cybersecurity foundation that fits the real environment

Standard IT controls can disrupt the industrial systems they are meant to protect. Learn how to assess OT risk, design zones and conduits, apply IEC 62443 security levels, use MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and establish passive asset visibility without risking production. Eight reconstructed incidents connect attacker techniques to the controls that failed, giving you the vocabulary and judgment to make credible security decisions from day one.
