What is Radar Dashboards?

Radar dashboards, also known as tech radars, are visual tools used to track and assess the maturity and adoption rate of different technologies, techniques, platforms, or tools within an organization or industry. They typically use a radial chart format, dividing technologies into categories (e.g., Techniques, Tools, Platforms, Languages & Frameworks) and rings representing stages of adoption or assessment (e.g., Hold, Assess, Trial, Adopt). Radar dashboards help organizations make informed decisions about technology adoption, identify emerging trends, and communicate technology strategies to stakeholders. They are commonly used for strategic planning, technology portfolio management, and knowledge sharing.
