Technical side or the "Dev stack"

One of the biggest road block to a new product or to an add on to an existing one is what technology should be used.

How to navigate between all the possible coding languages, frameworks, costume made developments and open sources?

There are of course exceptions but mainly it is a trade off between your team knowledge and the technological possibilities for the task at hand.
