Thoughtworks Technology Radar Radar at a glance The Radar is all about tracking interesting things, which we refer to as blips. We organize the blips in the Radar using two categorizing elements: quadrants and rings. The quadrants represent different kinds of blips. The rings indicate what stage in an adoption lifecycle we think they should be in. A blip is a technology or technique that plays a role in software development. Blips are “in motion” — that is, we find their position in the Radar is changing — usually indicating that we’re finding increasing confidence in them as they move through the rings. Adopt: We feel strongly that the industry should be adopting these items. We use them when appropriate in our projects. Trial: Worth pursuing. It’s important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises can try this technology on a project that can handle the risk. Assess: Worth exploring with the goal of understanding how it will affect your enterprise. Hold: Proceed with caution. New Moved in/out No change HoldAssess TrialAdopt Our Radar is forward-looking. To make room for new items, we fade items that haven’t moved recently, which isn’t a reflection on their value but rather on our limited Radar real estate. © Thoughtworks, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 4
