<p>The ThoughtWorks Technology Advisory Board is a group of senior technology leaders within ThoughtWorks. They produce the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar to help decision makers understand emerging technologies and trends that affect the market today. This group meets regularly to discuss the global technology strategy for ThoughtWorks and the technology trends that significantly impact our industry.
<p>The Technology Radar captures the output of these discussions in a format that provides value to a wide range of stakeholders, from CIOs to enterprise developers. The content provided in this document is kept at a summary level, leaving it up to the reader to pursue more detail when needed. The goal of the radar is conciseness, so that its target audience understands it quickly. The radar is graphical in nature, grouping items into techniques, tools, languages and platforms. Some radar items could appear in multiple quadrants, but we mapped them to the quadrant that seemed most appropriate. We further group these items in four rings to reflect our current position on them.
<p>The rings are: <ul>
<li> Adopt: We feel strongly that the industry should be adopting these items. We use them when appropriate on our projects.</li>
<li> Trial: Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.</li>
<li> Assess: Worth exploring with the goal of understanding how it will affect your enterprise.</li>
<li> Hold: Proceed with caution.</li>
</ul>
<p>Items that are new or have moved since the last radar are represented as triangles, while items that have not moved since the last radar are represented as circles. As we look at each quadrant in detail, we show the movement that each item has taken since the last publication of the radar. Items that have not moved in two publications of the radar fade and are no longer displayed unless something significant happens.
