FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate technologies for build-vs-buy decisions?▼

To evaluate technologies for build-vs-buy decisions, you apply a structured assessment framework across dimensions like Maturity, Ecosystem, Security Posture, and Licensing to produce a defensible tech radar with evidence-based recommendations.

What is a tech radar and how does it guide architecture decisions?▼

A tech radar is a structured visualization assessing technologies across dimensions like Operability, Integration, and Long-term Viability. It guides architecture decisions by providing scored evaluations and evidence to inform platform selection and deprecation planning.

How do I plan a technology migration using a structured framework?▼

Plan technology migration by selecting a strategy like Strangler Fig, Parallel Run, Big Bang, or Feature Flag. The framework supports rollout phases and integrates Architecture Decision Records to document the migration roadmap.

Can I use this framework to compare open-source options side-by-side?▼

Yes, you can compare open-source options side-by-side using the build-vs-buy analysis. The framework evaluates Team Expertise, Ecosystem, and Long-term Viability to generate structured scores and evidence for your architecture decisions.

What dimensions should I assess when selecting a new platform?▼

When selecting a new platform, assess dimensions including Maturity, Ecosystem, Microsoft Alignment, Team Expertise, Licensing, Security Posture, Performance, Operability, Integration, and Long-term Viability to ensure comprehensive risk-assessment.

When should I review my tech radar entries for deprecation planning?▼

You should review tech radar entries during quarterly reviews to evaluate movement criteria. This structured assessment identifies technologies for deprecation planning based on changing scores in Long-term Viability and Ecosystem dimensions.
