What is Emerging Technology Radar?
A framework for continuously monitoring and classifying technologies by their maturity and relevance to your organization. Popularized by ThoughtWorks, it plots technologies across four rings (Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold), giving teams a shared vocabulary for technology decisions.
