Once you've created your Radar you can use this service to generate an interactive version of your Technology Radar. Not sure how? Read this first.

What is the Tech Radar?
Each insight we share is represented by a blip. Blips may be new to the latest Radar volume, or they can move rings as our recommendation has changed.
The rings are:
- Adopt. Blips that we think you should seriously consider using.
- Trial. Things we think are ready for use, but not as completely proven as those in the Adopt ring.
- Assess. Things to look at closely, but not necessarily trial yet — unless you think they would be a particularly good fit for you. Or adopted things that need a reevaluation due to newly emerged alternatives.
- Hold. Proceed with caution. Some items may actually require a more immediate action, as they are deemed end-of-life by the maintainers and ICT wants to drop support for it on a more urgent basis.
Why does Deltares have a tech radar?
The Tech Radar is a place for software developers to find their way through the vast landscape of different tools and technologies that can be considered while developing a project. The choices made in this radar are meant for software development projects, and may not apply Deltares wide to other types of projects.
- Deltares has many different software applications that all have their own way of doing things. This can make it hard for software developers to switch between different projects. By using a tech radar, we can at least have an overview of what is used and make Deltares wide decisions on what to use.
- Ongoing projects might be looking for confirmation in their strategies and can use the technology radar to plan their roadmap.
- New projects often ask what kind of technologies should be used. The technology radar can answer these questions and make it easier for developers to start their projects.
What are the implications for developers?
The advice that is given in the technology radar is a way to communicate what the architects think are good to proceed with, or prefer to avoid. The architects themselves will then continue making plans to phase out or phase in technologies that they deem useful in their product line.
If a developer's technology is not on the list, consult the architects to inform on how to proceed with the project.
