The Advanced Technology Roadmap Architecture (ATRA) is a step-by-step methodology for developing technology roadmaps and using them for shaping a Research and Technology (R&T) project portfolio to meet future targets.
The key questions underlying ATRA are shown at the center. The inputs to ATRA are a clear decomposition and mapping of products (or services or missions) and technologies, a dependency structure matrix (DSM), Intellectual Property analytics (patent analysis), opinions of experts and technology scouts, as well as the organization's strategy. The outputs are quantitative technology roadmaps, future scenarios with technology valuations, as well as an efficient frontier of potential research and development (R&T) portfolios.
1. Where are we today?
The current state of the art and competitive analysis
2. Where could we go?
Exploration of future possibilities
3. Where should we go?
Future scenarios and technology valuations
4. Where we are going!
The portfolio of technology investments such as technology maturation projects and demonstrators
This website provides details on the ATRA methodology, the underlying book, on-campus and professional classes, examples of in-depth technology roadmaps, as well ongoing research.
