The article discusses the actual problem of information redundancy in the modern world, especially in the context of planning an educational trajectory to achieve professional goals. The authors analyze the problems faced by both schoolchildren and adults when choosing a profession or learning a new specialty, arising from a lack of structuring and reliability of information. They pay attention to the problems of organizing information search, insufficient critical thinking in its analysis, as well as the difficulty of building a learning strategy due to the abundance of available data. The authors propose a solution in the form of using roadmaps to visualize the educational trajectory, emphasizing the importance of structuring information, feedback and the ability to monitor progress in building a learning plan. The article also contains a comparative analysis according to the selected criteria of software analogues for building educational roadmaps. In conclusion, the authors conclude that it is necessary to develop a software and information system for building educational and career guidance roadmaps, which will help simplify the decision-making process when choosing a profession or learning a new specialty. The analysis of the requirements for the system under development makes it possible to emphasize the importance of a versatile approach to assessing the quality of content, providing a user-friendly interface and feedback opportunities for users of such a system.
