NASA Project Management Challenge
From the Prepared to Launch: Growing up PM at NASA Blog
by David Maynard
NASA has a long tradition of project management; it's well documented and practiced daily. This blog will explore the author's 20+ years of experience working on space projects to a strict (and documented) set of processes by exploring actual projects and their results. You'll find that while NASA's project and program management standards are similar to PMI's standards, there are quite a few differences.

How does NASA ensure its projects remain on track and on time? Two words: independent assessment.
Find out more on May 17, 2017, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET, the Academy of Program/Project & Engineering Leadership (APPEL) will host a new Virtual Project Management Challenge:
No One Grades Their Own Homework:
Independent Assessment Under the New Decentralized Model
Independent assessment is a project management tool designed to provide unbiased information on project progress to key decision makers. At NASA, that means analyzing schedule, cost, and technical risk at major project milestones. In the fall of 2015, NASA updated the independent assessment function by transferring it from a central office to the four mission directorates. During this Virtual Project Management Challenge, key agency personnel will explore what has changed in terms of independent assessment at NASA and why. Presenters will discuss how the changes in independent assessment implementation impact NASA projects and project managers, and provide updates on the transition’s progress to date as well as lessons learned from the transition.
We invite you to join us for this educational and engaging online event on Wednesday, May 17. If you are interested in attending the Virtual Project Management Challenge, please click here to learn more or to RSVP.
Sincerely,
Roger Forsgren

Thanks for sharing the information. And it is open to NASA, external and international.
Are there presentation available on-demand?
Thank you for the information!
Vincent: Yes, Its open to the public and I believe it's recorded and can be watched later. Probably a lot like ProjectManagement.com does.

Looks pretty neat, thank you for sharing.
@Liana, I like the title -- "You don't get to grade your own homework." While I was never told that at NASA, it was strongly (VERY STRONGLY) implied. I'm going to start saying it every day now. :)
