Adaptation of ThoughtWorks Tech Radar for SaaS Applications and Productivity apps.

Primary LanguageJavaScriptMIT LicenseMIT

Based on the fantastic work by ThoughtWorks and forked from Zalandos Tech Radar the aim of the SaaS Tool Radar is to provide a equivilent framework for SaaS-powered workspaces.

It's an ever growing market of SaaS applications - being able to visualise internally and publically how you think regarding SaaS applications could be an interesting way to see where you are heading and where you want to be.
