解説
問 10
Incorrectア
This describes something that shows the technologies needed to implement the shortest-path search function used in car navigation systems and the like. It is merely a description of the component technologies that support one specific function, and it lacks the essence of a technology roadmap, namely showing along a time axis when future technologies will be realized.
Incorrectイ
This describes something that shows a list of the software technologies used in the development process of a business system. It is merely a list enumerating the technologies used at present; it lacks the time-axis perspective of what will be realized and when, so it cannot be called a roadmap.
Incorrectウ
This describes something that shows the technologies that information systems department personnel should acquire, together with their career path. It is a description of a human-resource development plan or skill map (career path), and its subject differs from a technology roadmap, which shows the future timing at which the technologies themselves are realized.
- エ
正解 A technology roadmap is a chart that, for a target technology field, shows along a time axis (with years or decades on the horizontal axis) which technologies are expected to be realized or become widespread and roughly when. It is used when formulating research-and-development strategies and product development plans, and it serves as a tool for sharing an outlook on technological progress. Choice エ, “Something that shows the technologies whose realization is anticipated in a target field, together with a time axis”, is exactly this definition itself, so it is the correct answer.
ここがポイント
- A technology roadmap = a chart that shows, along a time axis, the technologies whose realization is anticipated in a target field. It is used to formulate research-and-development strategies and product plans.
- The key to identifying it is the “time axis”. Clearly distinguish it from a mere list of technologies or from personnel skill maps and career paths.
