Project Management Training
The ODP/TAMU Administration Department hosted a two-day programming
workshop with the assistance of consultants from the American Management
Association. Attending were JOI and NSF representatives, senior management
from the science operator, and administrative support personnel. The purposes of
the meeting were:
to develop an appropriate project management implementation program,
to define ODP/TAMU activities and how they will be grouped into
projects, and
to develop a course of instruction related directly to the needs of
ODP/TAMU employees. At the conclusion of the workshop, legs were
divided into three categories characterized as
selection/scientific planning,
tactical planning/execution, and
scientific delivery/publication. Additional projects were identified and
fixed budget services were defined. Initial efforts were made to identify
project managers for the three categories of a leg, the responsibilities of
each of these project managers, and the persons to whom these project
managers will report.
The Administration Department will participate in all identified projects by
providing support personnel with area-specific expertise.
