Radar

Description

A Radar captures a snapshot in time of project maturity in technology and go-to-market activities. Collecting projects that are classified in one of the second-tier taxonomy terms are collected, and then organised in a six-segment radar visualisation based on their classification and progress in their project lifetime. MTRL scores are used to visualise a spectrum of relative progress within each segment's ring arcs.
