Abstract: A Technology Program Management Model (TPMM) for management of technology development. The TPMM is an activities-based model that is subdivided along technology readiness level (TRL) boundaries into phases of technology development that logically progress from concept to operational capability and readiness for transition to the customer/end user. The TPMM provides a standardized approach to technology development that incorporates systems engineering and programmatic principles and practices with transition management in a stage-gated process for TRL-based maturity assessment. The TPMM includes a relational database that relates the activities to one another, to entry and exit criteria for each phase, and to documentation that demonstrates that the activity meets the requirements of each phase.
