Technology assessment is a scientific process that aims to contribute to public and political opinions on the societal aspects of science and technology. It involves assessing new technologies from their development through potential public acceptance. The 4-step technology assessment guide includes discovery of current technologies and processes, analysis of functionality and applications, defining and developing a vision for an end state solution, and documenting the plan.

TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT Presented by E V S S G GANESH 19021E0063 TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT • Technology assessment is a scientific, interactive and communicative process that aims to contribute to formation of public and political opinion on societal aspects of science and technology. • This is a means of assessing and rating the new technology from the time when it was first developed to the time when it is potentially accepted by the public and authorities for further use. TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT 4-STEP GUIDE Step 1: Discovery The first step towards picking the right technology is discovery. The purpose of the discovery phase is to deeply understand your existing reality, the problem you’re solving, and who you’re solving it for. Understanding your current technology eco-system You need to discover your current technology environment. This includes both the solutions you’re currently using as well as the systems and processes used to connect those systems. A good way to look at this is to look at it through the lens of a business process, and looking at what data is moved along the way, where that data is stored / what’s the source of truth, and how it gets from point A to point B. Step 2: Analysis By the end of the discovery stage, you should be armed with information about where you are now and where you want to go. Ideally, you’ll have the beginnings of requirements to get there. Next, you need to analyze the precise functionality that you have internally and how it’s currently being applied. Since you have a good understanding of the problem, the goal, and the environment and systems, a good place to start is to look at what your existing tech stack can do Step 3: Define & Develop Next comes to define and develop. You have a high-level business goal and a good understanding of the problem, environment, and the holes you’re trying to plug. Next, you need to build out your vision for the end state. It’s not just about what problem you’re looking to solve, but more granular; what is your technology solution going to do/drive the business forward? Step 4: Document The final step is to put all your work down on paper in a well-documents plan. Your final document should include: •A high-level overview •A crisp explanation of what you are solving and what you are asking for • All the details of the implementation and deployment • Details on project timelines and ownership THANK YOU
