At iits-consulting, we’re an assembly of experts in various fields. We advise our customers in teams that are tailored specifically to each engagement. As a result, we can address our customers’ needs in the best possible way; moreover, this approach leads to solutions we are all proud of. Because our expertise is diverse, we saw the need to visualize it in a technology radar.

Why We Built Our Technology Radar

Initially, we wanted to make our fields of expertise visible to ourselves. However, over the past years in job interviews, I’ve often been asked: “What technologies are you using in your project and other iits projects?” Consequently, the idea of creating our own tech radar really gained traction. The first version of our technology radar was released in December 2024. Although that initial version represented not even half of the topics we were eager to share, we still received appreciative feedback from job candidates.

What’s New in Version 2

Throughout the summer of 2025, we’ve been adding to and polishing our technology radar. As a result, we’re very proud of the release of version 2. Certainly, you’ll find many topics that were previously missing and that we consider important to share. For instance, we’ve added more programming languages we work with as well as expanded our AI-related topics. In addition, we introduced several “Choose Your X” topics to offer insights into our company culture. Furthermore, the cloud ops section has received much more attention as well. Even so, there is still room for improvement, which we plan to address with version 3 in 2026.

So, here’s some statistics about our current tech radar:

  • 71 topics in total
  • 24 (+9) topics in quadrant Languages & Frameworks
  • 15 (+8) topics in quadrant Methods & Patterns
  • 9 (+3) topics in quadrant Platforms
  • 23 (+7) topics in quadrant Tools

How We Built It (and Thanks)

Our technology radar is a group effort made possible by many of us volunteering to add and edit topics. Hence, my thanks go to all contributors as well as to AOE GmbH for open-sourcing their technology radar generator, which we use under the hood. Finally, we’re curious to reading your feedback on our tech radar. So, please leave a comment on my LinkedIn post about the v2 release.

I am a software architect (SA) with more than 15 years of professional experience in multiple programming languages, development processes and software sizes from small prototypes to green field projects to 20 years old cloud shops. Having worked in various segments with many teams I have become very strong at creating technical documentation of software, onboarding and mentoring my teams to refactor and write code that has less cognitive complexity, is better testable and pushing my teams towards the practices of continuous delivery and increased software quality. Apart from my technical expertise I have developed excellent people skills and are an exceptionally empathic team player. To me, software development is not an individual achievement but a team effort.
