Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every compliance pro needs tools to show their worth
Strategic artifacts that prove your value to the earth
Start with building out your portfolio today
Four key pieces that will light your leadership way
Document your thinking, make your vision clear
Show them that your compliance mind thinks like a seer

[Chorus]
Roadmap, roadmap, show them where we're going
Current state to target state, keep that progress flowing
Gap analysis, sequencing with care
Strategic artifacts prove you're always prepared
Portfolio power, make your work shine bright
Compliance leadership done exactly right

[Verse 2]
Current state assessment is where you begin
Map out all the controls, show what's thick and thin
Don't just say we're missing this control or that
Frame it all in risk terms, where the dangers are at
Missing control X means Y risk is real
With Z likelihood, that's how leaders feel

[Chorus]
Roadmap, roadmap, show them where we're going
Current state to target state, keep that progress flowing
Gap analysis, sequencing with care
Strategic artifacts prove you're always prepared
Portfolio power, make your work shine bright
Compliance leadership done exactly right

[Verse 3]
Target state definition, paint the future scene
What certification goal, what maturity we mean
Timeline driven by what customer needs
Regulatory deadlines or audit cycle feeds
Quantify the gap between here and there
Numbers, effort, costs show that you care

[Bridge]
Sequencing rationale shows your strategic mind
Risk prioritization, dependencies you find
Resource efficiency, quick wins in sight
Not just convenience, but doing it right
This is where leadership sees you think deep
Strategic compliance promises you keep

[Chorus]
Roadmap, roadmap, show them where we're going
Current state to target state, keep that progress flowing
Gap analysis, sequencing with care
Strategic artifacts prove you're always prepared
Portfolio power, make your work shine bright
Compliance leadership done exactly right

[Outro]
Build your portfolio, make your value known
Strategic artifacts, seeds that you have sown
Roadmap is your power, your most mighty tool
Compliance professional, strategic and cool
