An Improvement Roadmap is an approach that is used to guide through the implementation of a long-term improvement journey. Whether you are a department manager, a Lean practitioner or Master Black Belt, this template will enable you to list your improvement goals, identify the baseline performance of each goal, identify where you want to be at some time in the future, and identify the metrics that will be used to measure the performance over time.

This template is a Microsoft Excel document that you can use and modify to suit your specific needs. For example, you may want to add additional columns to plan your goals over longer-term periods. You may also add additional rows if you want to add more areas for improvement. It comes in two different variations: one that allows to plan over a year and another over two years. Both will let you track your improvement progress by assessing how much improvement is made percentage-wise, which you have to enter manually.
