Adopt Standard Development Process

When an S&T Enterprise makes a decision to adopt a set of standards for Technology Development and Maturity Assessment, there is a systematic process that should be followed which can help methodically build a culture that embraces such an engineering-based environment. Beginning with Establishing Organizational Policies and Standards, its important that:

• Tech managers are aware of the “Standard Criteria” when reporting any:
  • Technical Progress
  • Programmatic Progress
  • Technology Transition Status
  • “Forward Planning” for meeting the next Maturity Level
• Tech Managers understand that there is a “minimum standard deliverable set” for documenting Technical and Programmatic performance
