How you collect the data? #97

Closed Canopix closed 2 years ago

Canopix commented 2 years ago

Hi Zalando Team! :) I'm investigating a way to know the tech interests in our company and create something like this.

My main question here is: How do you collect the data from your engineering team? Do you have a specific procedure to take the interest of each individual in the team? Making questionnaires?

Thanks for any help that you can provide me! I like you tech radar!

Hi @Canopix, thanks for the question. We wrote about how we approach contributions to the Tech Radar in a blog post.

We have a repository and docs site where we collect learnings and additional information about the technologies we evaluate/use. Teams are encouraged to contribute their insights. On top, in regular intervals we reach out to teams on selected technologies where we lack up-to-date information or where we'd expect to receive insights. This information sourcing is done directly from teams or via the Principal Engineers who curate the Tech Radar at Zalando.
