The NASA source for project management.
Welcome to the Academy of Program and Project Leadership (APPL) and ASK Magazine. APPL helps NASA managers and project teams accomplish today's missions and meet tomorrow's challenges by providing performance enhancement services and tools, supporting career development programs, sponsoring knowledge sharing events and publications, and creating opportunities for project management collaboration with universities, professional associations, industry partners and other government agencies.
ASK Magazine grew out of APPL's Knowledge Sharing Initiative. The stories that appear in ASK are written by the 'best of the best' project managers, primarily from NASA, but also from other government agencies and industry. These stories contain genuine nuggets of knowledge and wisdom that are transferable across projects. Who better than a project manager to help another project manager address a critical issue on a project? Big projects, small projects -- they're all here in ASK.

Web-based project management the way it should be
* Easy setup - seconds to a new project
* Blog simplicity - Posting project updates couldn't be easier
* Simple scheduling - What's due, when it's due, who's responsible
* To-do lists - Make sure all the little things get done
* File sharing - Upload and share files on your own server
* Web-based and hosted - No install or IT staff required
* Useful technology - RSS, iCal, and Mozilla Calendar integration
* Take a visual tour and find out more.
Finally, everyone's on the same (web) page
Basecamp is a web-based tool that lets you manage projects (or simply ideas) and quickly create client/project extranets. It lets you and your clients (or just your own internal team) keep your conversations, ideas, schedules, to-do lists, and more in a password-protected central location. And unlike most project management products, Basecamp is a breeze to use. Take a tour of some key features or try it free today!
How it works
Basecamp is a hosted service so there's no hardware or software installation required. Just log-in, set up a project site (it takes only a few seconds), then go ahead and start posting project updates, contact info, task lists, files or design reviews, or other content. Your clients can then participate by commenting on your messages or creating their own. It's a simple, organized, professional way to communicate project progress to both clients and other team members.
Benefits you'll feel
Before Basecamp, client interactions were scattered across e-mails, instant messages, post-it notes, various non-synced calendars, napkins, and makeshift client extranets. Yeah, you know who you are. After Basecamp, project communication and schedules are centralized, automatically organized, archived by date and topic, and accessible from any computer with a web browser.

Simplify Project Management
CleanCourse allows for quick access to projects assigned to each user through a personalized My Projects login screen. Every user has the ability to add, edit and delete project notes and attachments in the projects they are assigned to. With administrator permissions you can edit and delete all notes and attachments on the system as well as closely manage critical project documents and issues.
A special filtering system allows you to sort notes based on any field criteria in the entire system. Find the notes that pertain directly to you in a matter of seconds. Filter by priority, development stage, status and more!
Who Is Doing What?
Manage who is assigned to what project or stage of a project and monitor the notes and activities of that project from any location with web access! CleanCourse allows you to enhance collaboration among team members as well. No more duplication of efforts and reworking of issues due to incorrect issues log versions and notes being passed around. Plus you can decrease the amount of project based email by using project notes that are time and date stamped in a threaded discussion format - a perfect audit trail!
Three Levels of User Access
CleanCourse allows for three different levels of user access based on your job function: Team Member, Client, and Administrator. Each job type has different access to features in CleanCourse.
Team Member - When you login, you start at the My Projects page. This is a summary of all of the projects you are currently assigned to. You will see an indicator next to a project name if there are new notes that have been assigned to you. As a team member you can add, edit, and delete notes; add, edit and delete project document attachments, and use the WBT Viewer to QA courses.
Client - When you login as a client you start at the Projects List page. This is a summary of all the projects your client currently has in development with your company. Similar to a Team Member, a client may also add, edit, and delete notes; add, edit and delete project document attachments, and use the WBT Viewer to view and QA courses. Clients can only see projects for their company.
Administrator - With Administrator rights, when you login to CleanCourse you start at the Administrator Menu page. As an Administrator you have full access and editing rights to all projects and associated notes and documents. An administrator can edit and delete the notes and attachments of any other users on the system. Administrators are the only login which allow adding, editing, or deleting clients, projects or users.
Use the My Projects page to instantly access projects you are assigned to. Projects assigned to you on the My Projects page are organized by client. A client may be an internal department or an external organization. You can quickly access a project from this page and display all issues and notes associated with that project. You can also jump directly to the project's global documents. The My Projects page also displays alerts to let you know when you have been assigned a new issue and how many new issues for that project.
On the Project Notes page, you have access to all notes attached to a project. Some of the things you can do from the Project Notes page include:
* Search for notes that match certain criteria.
* Save searches (called "filters") to use the next time you log in.
* Sort notes in by various fields including priority, assigned to/from, e-learning category, and more.
* Add updates to existing notes.
* Add new notes with the option of emailing assigned project members.
* Attach and upload any type of file to a note.
* Reassign notes or tasks to project team members with updates and status changes.
* Download and view files that have been attached to notes.
* Add, edit, and delete notes
* Mark notes as completed
The Project Notes page keeps track of all issues, tasks, and informa

Team Project Management couldn't be simpler with iTeamWork.com. Create a project, create a task for that project and assign it to a person. That's all there is to it. iTeamWork's concept is to keep the management of tasks simple while providing a global view of project status. Backed by an e-mail notification system, everyone on a project is completely informed, every step of the way.
A task cannot be created without a project. Tasks are grouped by project and therefore we need to start by creating the project first.

Is your organization looking to increase the productivity of its teams or departments? The integrated suite of OfficeClip Applications provides powerful, web-based applications that any organization can benefit from using. OfficeClip is designed to be easily installed and run on a web server, and can be accessed via any web browser or web-enabled mobile device. Created using the Microsoft .Net framework®, it provides flexible configuration and implementation on numerous web client devices, such as web browsers, Palm® devices, and web-enabled mobile phones.
This overview describes the features and functionality of the OfficeClip Application suite, an easy to use, affordable, low-maintenence enterprise level software solution.
Role - Based Security and Permissions - OfficeClip uses a role-based security model to ensure that members only see or modify information that the group administrator allows. An OfficeClip administrator places users into roles, which are named groups of access permissions. By default, all users have all access permissions. However, the administrator has full control of all OfficeClip functionality, and can restrict functionality based on the roles that are created. Both object owners and administrators have full control over read, write, append, and delete access permissions for OfficeClip objects that are governed by access rules (such as documents and tasks).
Platform Independent Client - The OfficeClip products designed to run on a web browser, which ensures platform independence when used on desktop and web-enabled mobile devices.
Powerful backend Sql Database - All OfficeClip data is stored in an MS SQL Server database, which provides architectual power and flexibility in a data-driven environment. OfficeClip products are bundled with the MSDE (Microsoft Desktop Engine), which offers a low-cost, low-volume database solution which can later be migrated to a heavily loaded, high availability platform.
External Content Publishing - The contents of many OfficeClip products can be filtered and published as a web page for external users. Access to the external information can be controlled from within the OfficeClip administration console.

Needs Assessment - Project Planning - Organizational Decision-Making - Strategic Change Initiatives
No matter the topic or issue, every organization will be involved in the processes listed above at one time or another. How does the CSI method make these processes better? Two key elements: Concept Mapping and Pattern Matching. The Concept System software reduces the time it takes to develop even the most detailed of projects. Our approach builds consensus and can track and evaluate performance to ensure your project's goals are met. With the Concept System, you can:
* Gather information from a virtually unlimited number of participants
* Apply the latest Internet technologies for rapid access to the initiative
* Produce results based on a powerful statistical engine and generate a group map from the combined input of individuals in the group
* Graphically match the opinions of various groups of stakeholders
* Provide a qualified assessment of outcomes against goals
The Concept System has been used successfully by major management consulting firms, corporations, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations for strategic planning, needs assessment, training curriculum development and evaluation, performance and program evaluation, and focus groups. Using our proprietary software and proven group processes, your organization can conduct planning and decision- making efforts faster, more comprehensively, more objectively, and with much more satisfying results.
Additionally, The Concept System is a comprehensive tool kit that helps organizations excel at solving mission-critical problems. It consists of the following components:
* The Core Program enables stakeholders to brainstorm ideas and organize them through sorting and rating activities. It then maps the clustered ideas into one unified concept map, and assesses consensus through pattern matching.
* CS Remote enables project administrators to have their participants complete brainstorming, sorting, and rating tasks in a user-friendly application that may be emailed or sent on a CD or floppy disk.
* CS Reporter provides a comprehensive and customizable reporting capability for any project done using the Concept System Core Program. You are able to print detailed reports and graphs, as well as develop your own templates.

The Taylor mantra on managing for creativity goes something like this: All employees are inherently creative. That creativity is typically blocked by structural elements within a company. Eliminate the blockages, and you enable "group genius." In other words, you don't manage people; you manage the world in which they work, a world the Taylor's divide into seven key components, or domains.
Body of Knowledge Know what you know.
Recognize that your team's collective knowledge and experience are among your most valuable resources. Assess your body of knowledge; find out where -- in whom -- it resides. Spread it around: ensure that everyone knows "what is known" to eliminate duplicate efforts and build unity.
Process Design and Facilitation Clear the pathways.
In most companies the creative process happens by accident. Find out how it happens in yours. Discover your enterprise's internal processes, or pathways, and clear them of obstacles. Don't let tradition dictate how things are done. Meetings, for example, should be times of intensive interaction. They should be called only when a project or problem requires actual collaboration and group creativity.
Education Learn how you learn.
Discover the processes by which your team gathers information or explores new ideas, and assess your attitudes toward learning. If success depends on maintaining your body of knowledge, then learning must be a constant activity.
Environment
Establish the physical and psychological field for work. Creating a functional environment means departing radically from workplaces left over from the industrial era. Creative space must be adaptable to multiple uses -- from large meetings to small breakouts. It must be comfortable, healthy, homey, but fully functional -- a place that supports multiple styles of work and creativity, from writing on wall panels to pacing back and forth. Above all, your environment must allow team members to "work big and work collaboratively."
Technology
It works for you, not the other way around. Used appropriately, it lets an enterprise leverage its creative work. But technology is also a false "quick fix" that will simply magnify and accelerate whatever flaws remain in your creative processes. Make your technology yours. Customize it to your needs and systems.
Project Management
Manage the environment, not the people. Make sure that the environment maximizes creativity, that the body of knowledge is rich and accessible, that the team is as diverse as possible. Most important, facilitate. Lead team members through a clearly enunciated creative process -- like Scan, Focus, Act -- and evaluate the project and the team's progress at each step.
Venture Management
The big picture. Develop a specific corporate vision to bring "there" to "here." Choose a preferred future state, then determine how to modify daily actions and processes to achieve it. It also means maintaining your organization's health, preserving functional aspects, and searching for new, more effective, and creative methods.

A series of simple questions, which can be used either individually or in groups, designed to support creative and divergent thinking when faced by a design problem. The questions need a point of focus, which could either be an existing solution or proposed concepts to a design problem. The questions should be taken one at a time, to explore new ways and approaches to the problem.
In a brainstorming session, it can be useful to write each statement on a card, and randomly select a card when discussing alternative solutions. Alternatively, paste the questions onto a board and place in the design team's environment.

SOME COMPLICATING FACTORS: IKIWISI, COTS, AND RAPID CHANGE
The recent developments of IKIWISI (I’ll know it when I see it), COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) software, and the increasingly rapid change in information technology have combined to unsettle the foundations of the old airtight-requirements approach.
IKIWISI
Successfully specifying software requirements in advance is difficult. But when user- or group-interactive systems are involved, it proves nearly impossible. Users asked to specify requirements generally claim, "I don’t know how to tell you, but I’ll know it when I see it." Furthermore, users may initially feel that they "know it when they see an initial demo or prototype. But their needs and desires change once they begin operating the system and gain a deeper understanding of how it could support their mission. Thus, the requirements tend to emerge with continued use and mission understanding rather than be prespecifiable.
COTS
Another fundamental tenet of the air-tight-requirements approach is that the prespecified requirements completely determine the system capabilities. How-
ever, with large, pervasive COTS products, the COTS capabilities effectively determine the requirements.
Rapid change
As I discussed, specifying airtight requirements takes time. But particularly for Internet and Web-based systems, rapid change can create an impossible-to-win game of catch-up. As you slowly grind out and validate airtight requirements, rapid changes in COTS releases, competitive threats, stakeholders, reorganizations, and price structures make these requirements increasingly obsolete. And by the time you thoroughly change-control, update, and revalidate them, new developments make them obsolete all over again.

...Once you have organized information about stakeholders in this manner, you easily identify stakeholders on the basis of their power and interest in the project. Broadly speaking, stakeholders can be organized into four groups:
High Influence, High Interest: Some stakeholders might have a lot of influence over the project, and also be very interested in the project. It is vital to understand the viewpoints of such stakeholders specifically what potential objections they might raise. Spend most time on these stakeholders.
Low Influence, High Interest: Other stakeholders might have a lot of interest, but little real influence. Such stakeholders (if they are in favor of your project) can be valuable sources of information: they can get you access to documents relevant to your project, fill you in on the institutional history of past efforts in your project domain, and help you identify what the organizational challenges to the project will be. These are good stakeholders to meet with first, since each interaction is relatively low-risk.
High Influence, Low Interest: Stakeholders with high power, but low interest need to be broadly satisfied. They won’t pay attention to the fine print of your project, since they perceive the project as not affecting them. However, they have influence on whether the project will be a success: for example, they may have a vote during the approval process of a project. The goal of your interactions with this type of stakeholder should be to give them enough information about the project that they will not create obstacles for your project.
Low Influence, Low Interest: You should spend less time with stakeholders who have little influence and little interest in the project. They aren’t interested in what you are doing, and are not in a position to help you do it.
One interesting thing about the suggestions generated by this model is that interest matters more than influence in determining the value of interactions between yourself and stakeholders. High interest, low influence stakeholders give you the ammunition and contextual information needed to make your case with the high influence stakeholders. Low interest, high influence stakeholders, in contrast, simply need merely to be won over or neutralized in a fairly superficial way. Projects will succeed or fail primarily based on the actions of people who care enough to defend or oppose them. .

The primary thesis of Value-Based Software Engineering (VBSE) is that the integration of a software system’s stakeholder value propositions into the system’s
definition, design, development, deployment, and evolution is critical to the system’s success. This white paper:
· Analyzes the sources of software project failure in the Standish Report, and shows that many of the failed projects were caught in the vise of valuei nsensitive
software engineering.
· Discusses promising research ideas for improving our capability to perform VBSE.
· Presents a roadmap for making progress toward VBSE and its resulting benefits.
The white paper concludes with a summary of the relations between VBSE and other software research and applications areas. It is unavoidably involved with software and information system product and process technology, and their interaction with human values. It is strongly empirical, but includes new concepts in need of stronger theory. It uses risk considerations to balance software discipline and flexibility, and to answer other key how much is enough?" questions. And it helps illuminate information technology policy decisions by identifying the quantitative and qualitative sources of cost and value associated with candidate decisions.
Failed Software Projects: Sources and Remedies
The CHAOS Report [Standish, ] surveyed several hundred software projects and found that only % of them were completed within their planned budget and schedule. The report analyzed the major sources of failure for the other projects, and found that eight problem sources accounted for % of the failures. Each of these sources is discussed below in terms of their relation to value-based approaches to software engineering.
