Although I had absolutely nothing to do with this project, I did walk by the viewing gallery in the high bay nearly every day to see the assembly of this space craft. What makes my job interesting is the simple connection to something unique and exciting.
These efforts are a small part of the larger missions - manned and unmanned exploration of the solar system. Each has project and program management elements with a large variety of styles, techniques, tools, and processes. As well, each of these styles, techniques, tools, and processes has applicability in other business domains - especially IT. This is the connection for me and hopefully for the readers of this Blog.
