Program Support Experience
Technical Project Management — Aerospace and IT portfolio management.  We
bring the advantage of a civil servant perspective for managing outcomes of cross-
discipline technical teams.  At NASA & Goddard our past performance includes
leading projects that are Center-wide in scope to produce mission critical products
for among others, the Center CIO’s office, Office of Mission Success and the
Advanced Engineering and Technology Directorate.  


CIO’s Office — “per CIO’s request,  instituted processes for systematizing ‘all-cios
actions’, receipt through response”
Created innovative processes to receive, distribute, track and close actions
received from the Agency CIO on IT security and other NASA Information
Technology Requirements (NITR) data-calls.  

Succeeded in delivering all responses to Headquarters within schedule.  
Reconciled CIO’s actions with Agency CIO registry.


AETD Workforce Development — "addressed a need to cross train engineers
and other technical staff at NASA Goddard in project management"
Devised an interdisciplinary short-course on an Advanced Engineering and
Technology Directorate (AETD) purchase order, incorporating aspects of each
of the Center's Directorates and applicable Agency Programs as well as the
core techniques for lifecycle cost, risk, schedule and WBS.

Utilized a systems engineering approach to project management by including
content on leadership, software engineering, safety and mission success, and
utilizing hands-on team based case studies of past NASA missions.  Garnered
the participation of the Office of the Chief Knowledge Officer and the Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter project manager who added extra value to the
participants by speaking on best practices for delivering a mission on
schedule within cost and excellent technical performance.


EAWG — “headed activities of Goddard-wide Enterprise Architecture working
group in absence of permanent leadership,  developed and delivered response to
NASA Headquarters in 12-weeks time”
Oversaw document integration, scope of response, schedule, and quality.  Led
communications and facilitated the 20-person working group representing the
scientific and engineering disciplines of the Center.

Submitted 1-day ahead of deadline, Goddard’s response to Agency EA
plans.  Handled meeting logistics, wrote charter, communications and project
management plans, schedule, and risk management strategy.

Note:  This and the CIO’s office were civil servant experience.

MSFC OCIO IT Architecture & Planning — "utilized knowledge of NASA Program
and Project Management Requirements and other directives to write technical
content of a contractor’s proposal for the Marshal IT Services RFP"
Provided subject matter expertise to document strategies for supporting
Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Center-wide committees and boards to
facilitate web-enabled IT Innovation and Portfolio Management, Enterprise
Architecture, Policy, Performance and Governance Management techniques.

Answered requirements to devise an integrated portal to include a wiki for
storing, disseminating, and sharing EA assets to uphold the Center-wide
Innovation and Portfolio Management Strategies that align financial objectives,
technical initiatives and IT projects.


OMS — “produced the Office of Mission Success’ State-of-the-Center report; its
most visible deliverable to the Deputy Center Director”
Managed contractor product schedule, quality, and communications.  
Interfaced to OMS to document the Center’s portfolio of risk and performance
of flight programs.

Turned over the monthly report on schedule, increased customer satisfaction,
developed processes to establish monthly baseline, and change control
processes for integration of civil servant and contractor updates.
"(Kim) I would like to thank you for all your efforts and energy in getting this first
phase (of Enterprise Architecture) accomplished.  As you have seen, there are a
lot of people with ideas and inputs at GSFC, usually what is missing is someone
to keep things focused.  You have filled that role for this group.  Well done!"
