45% of the work reached no objective.
In this roadmap alignment report, the two largest rows lack an objective. Some of that is a missing link in Jira. Some of it is work nobody decided to fund. Check which is which in the report, so maintenance keeps its place and the rest gets a priority call.
The roadmap alignment report lists missing ticket context and delivery risks, each with supporting evidence.

10 open objectives never say why they exist.
The roadmap alignment report checks ten questions for each objective, from the problem to the owner. Each panel below shows what is missing, and the one line to write first.

From commits to priorities, with no self-reports in between.
Navigara analyzes repository changes and cross-checks the issue tracker to connect engineering work with stated objectives. Review the classification and linked evidence, especially where a ticket or objective is missing.
The report shows what the repository and tracker support. It cannot recover a business decision that was never recorded, or prove that a change caused revenue.

Engineering roadmap alignment questions.
What does engineering roadmap alignment show?
Which objective each piece of work served, and how much served none. Engineering roadmap alignment traces commits to tickets, and tickets to objectives, and the roadmap alignment report shows the links your tracker supports. Revenue impact is a separate question.
Does a missing link prove poor engineering roadmap alignment?
No. A missing link is often a tracking gap, or necessary work that never got a recorded priority. Engineering roadmap alignment shows the gap; the team knows what kind it is. Walk through the roadmap alignment report with the team before anyone decides the work should stop.
How does a roadmap alignment report handle maintenance?
As its own category in the roadmap alignment report. Patching a dependency matters whether or not a ticket says so, and engineering roadmap alignment treats an unlinked patch as a priority to write down.
What can we improve from an engineering roadmap alignment review?
The objectives themselves. Most gaps are a missing problem statement, outcome, owner, or date. The roadmap alignment report names the one line to write first, and the next engineering roadmap alignment review shows which links now hold.
Can the roadmap alignment report recover unwritten decisions?
No. Engineering roadmap alignment works from the repository and tracker you connect. A decision made in a hallway and never written down won’t appear in the roadmap alignment report until its owner writes it into the objective.
What do we connect for engineering roadmap alignment?
Your repositories and your issue tracker, read-only, for the teams and period in scope. Check a sample of classifications in the first roadmap alignment report, then start engineering roadmap alignment with the objectives your team can fix this quarter. Review engineering process health.
Run alignment
on your data.
Connect your repositories and tracker. In your first engineering roadmap alignment review, you pick the objective to fix first, and the roadmap alignment report shows the work it would bring back.
