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• Hold: Don't use; superceded or risky
