How trustworthy is the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar?

The ThoughtWorks Technology Radar has established itself as an industry standard when it comes to making coding or infrastructure related technology decisions. The company’s expertise are widely acknowledged as a kind of “holy grail” in the industry. But is this really so?

Objective(s)

In this topic, the team will challenge ThoughtWorks Technology Radar by conducting its own evaluation of 1 - 3 selected topics. The team can pick topics (ideally related, e.g. about infrastructure), conduct its own research, and a coding experiment.

You should act like a team in a company that has been tasked to decide about an organization-wide technology decision (adoption of something new, rejection, …). The Radar will provide a valuable starting point, but the management would expect you to validate this with your company’s situation in mind.
