Technology Radar

A curated catalog of technologies grouped into rings (adopt / trial / assess / hold) that guides engineering choices.

What is Technology Radar?

Popularized by Thoughtworks, a Technology Radar lets an engineering organization make its stance on tools and techniques explicit. Each entry is scored, discussed, and placed in a ring. Teams consult it before picking a new dependency, which shortens debates and produces a visible, maintained position on the tech landscape.
