Building a Tech Radar for your Organization

The Tech Radar is a powerful tool. It can be used to build a company-wide tech strategy, experiment with new technologies, document technical decisions, or even onboard new devs. In this talk, we will share our variation of the tech radar and strategies we developed to author, maintain, and open-source them.

We’ll start with an overview of the technology lifecycle phases: assess, trial, adopt, hold, or retire. These are the foundations of the tech radar. We will also share our own experiences building and maintaining tech radars, and the tips and tricks you can take away. Finally, we’ll share a project that we have been working on to enable companies to open-source and share their tech radars.

Join us for the launch of the Open Tech Radar, where we'll guide you through the processes of authoring, documenting, sustaining, and open-sourcing your tech radar. Let's foster a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the industry!
