3. RADAR AT A GLANCE
Items that are new or have had significant changes since the last
Radar are represented as triangles, while items that have not changed
are represented as circles.
Our Radar is forward looking. To make room for new items, we fade items that haven’t moved recently, which isn’t a
reflection on their value but rather our limited Radar real estate.
NEW OR CHANGED
NO CHANGE
HOLD
Proceed with caution.
ASSESS
Worth exploring with the goal of understanding
how it will affect your enterprise.
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.
ADOPT
We feel strongly that the industry should be
adopting these items. We use them when
appropriate on our projects.
