- A visual framework and assessment tool used by organizations to evaluate and communicate the adoption status of various technologies, tools, frameworks, and techniques across their engineering teams. Typically presented as a diagram divided into quadrants (such as languages and frameworks, tools, platforms, and techniques), and rings representing adoption stages (like “Adopt,” “Trial,” “Assess,” and “Hold”), a tech radar provides guidance on which technologies to embrace, experiment with, or avoid. Tech radars help organizations make informed technology decisions, align engineering practices, and track the evolution of their technology landscape over time.
