future state

What will be

Future state refers to a planned or envisioned condition of something—typically an organization, system, or process—after changes have been implemented.

The term dominates business and technology contexts: The future state design eliminates three manual steps.

Strategic planning often contrasts current state with future state to map transformation goals: We need to document the future state before we can build a roadmap.
