To survive in this fast-changing world, both the organizations and practitioners must understand both the current technology landscape as well as its ebbs and flows. Every year, as a part of annual planning, most organizations make these decisions.\n\nAlthough it is a regular decision, which many organizations must make yearly, there is no widely accepted framework for evaluating emerging technologies.\n\nWe present “Emerging Technology Analysis Canvas” (ETAC), a framework to assess an individual emerging technologies. \n\n![Figure 2: Artificial Intelligence ETAC)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wso2/ETAC/master/images/etac-ai-outlook-v2.png)\n\n\n Inspired by the Business Model Canvas, It represents different aspects of technology visually on a single page. This approach includes a set of questions that probe the technology arranged around a logical narrative. The visual representation is concise, compact, and comprehensible at a glance. \n\nIt provides \n* a logical framework to assess the emerging technologies\n* a framework to teach, to learn, and to discuss different aspects of the technology\n* as a brainstorming tool when trying to understand emerging technologies.\n\nYou can find more details from [ETAC specification](https://github.com/wso2/ETAC/blob/master/ETAC.md). \n\nFollowing are some meterial about ETAC. \n* Short introduction article: [How to judge New Techs like Blockchain, AI, and Serverless? a Methodology](https://hackernoon.com/etac-a-visual-canvas-for-assessing-technologies-e73b7f5c3990)\n* WSO2con talk: A Visual Canvas for Judging New Technologies, [Slides](https://www.slideshare.net/hemapani/a-visual-canvas-for-judging-new-technologies),[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RtbHgBqUJc)\n\nPublished outlooks based on ETAC. \n* [Blockchain Future Outlook](https://peerj.com/preprints/27529/)\n* [Serverless Future Outlook](https://github.com/wso2/ETAC/blob/master/outlooks/serverless_outlook.md)\n* How Serverless can shape Enterprise Integration?
