Considering It All For Project Success: Dissenting Opinions at NASA

Program and project managers must make thousands of decisions in the course of delivering successful products and missions. But how can they be certain their decisions are based on unvarnished inputs from their team members? The final session of NASA’s Virtual Project Management (PM) Challenge three-part series on schedule, cost, and risk will look at how project and program managers might reduce project risk by actively encouraging the expression of dissenting opinions among their team members. Speakers will be Nigel Packham, Manager of the Flight Safety Office at Johnson Space Center (JSC), and Peter Spidaliere, Mission Systems Engineer at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Moderator will be Ramien Pierre from NASA’s Academy for Program/Project and Engineering Leadership (APPEL).
