NASA PM Lessons Learned

Aerospace and Defense Lessons Learned

David Maynard Fort Wayne, In, United States

I've edited an oldie but goodie list of 128 "lessons learned" from a fellow that was a project manager for NASA for 37 years. Only the first 25 are posted. I'll add the rest as time permits.

PLEASE COMMENT! http://bit.ly/2g07twf

I've got more to edit / modernize -- 128 in all. This document has been handed around NASA for a long time, people added to it, people subtracted from it. In a way I guess it's a version of "Organizational Process Assets" :)

Thanks for refreshing this list David! These are timeless lessons that all project management professionals should review on a regular basis!

Thank you Paul, I'm working on the next 25. It's suprising that these PM lessons learned have remained virtually the same for a long, long time.
