Annotation: In today's competitive environment, companies develop projects involving new technology in order to keep up with rapidly changing environmental conditions and technological developments, to reach their strategic goals, and sometimes to lead these changes. However, the uncertainties and risks involved in the use of immature technology in these projects may cause increases in the project cost or a timeout in the project period. In order to avoid the uncertainties and risks that directly affect the quality of the project, the use of the immature technology that is under consideration should be systematically evaluated. For this purpose, a measurement system has been developed to systematically determine the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). In this study, the TRL measurement system is introduced and TRL processes for sample application projects are examined in detail.

Keywords: Technology management; Technology readiness levels; Project management.
