About
Technology Radar
Systematically evaluate technologies and track them on a radar (Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold) to manage technology portfolio.
Context
You are evaluating technologies. Establish a technology radar as organizational consensus on what to use, experiment with, evaluate, or avoid.
Domain Context
Based on Thoughtworks Technology Radar and tech governance:
- Adopt: Use for new projects; well-proven, low risk
- Trial: Experiment in bounded contexts; promising but unproven at scale
- Assess: Evaluate before committing; interesting but uncertain
- Hold: Don't use; superceded or risky
Instructions
- Assess Technology: Maturity, support, community, performance, cost, learning curve
- Plot on Radar: Where does it belong?
- Define Transition: How to move from Trial to Adopt (or obsolete)?
- Communicate: Publish radar; align team on tech direction
Anti-Patterns
- Adopting Too Quickly: Use new shiny tech before proven. Result: regret. Guard: New tech starts in Assess/Trial.
- Radar Never Updates: Published once, ignored after. Guard: Review quarterly.
