Some methodological issues of assessing the level of technological readiness of information systems projects

The article is devoted to the issues of assessing the level of technological readiness of information systems (IS) projects. General approaches to assessing the level of readiness of projects abroad and in Russia are presented. It is shown that at present, an approach using the methods of assessing technological/production/market readiness levels (TRL / MRL / CRL) based on a 9-level scale and allowing to assess the level of readiness of technology, production, and product readiness to enter the market is becoming increasingly developed. The advantages of these methods are considered. It is noted that in Russia, they are mainly used in corporate projects and are practically not used in the development of IS projects in the interests of public administration. Proposals are formulated to improve the methods of evaluating IS projects including a methodological approach to assessing the level of technological readiness of projects.
