A&D SIG
Supports NASA Project Management Challenge 2008
The
A&D SIG was represented at the recent NASA Project Management
Challenge by Gary Nitch, Regional Director - Southeast Region,
and Jim Gallagher, Vice Chair Membership. Gary and Jim helped staff
a PMI booth in the exhibitor display area. The booth was co-hosted
and supported by PMI Global Operation Center staff and the PMI Space
Coast Chapter.
Over 1,000 NASA employees, support contractors and company representatives
attended the Challenge, making this a very successful event. Well
over one hundred participants visited the PMI booth and Jim and
Gary spoke with many of them about the benefits of joining PMI and
the A&D SIG. Jim and Gary also spoke with the representatives
of the Space Coast Chapter about establishing a Local Interest Group
(LIG). Discussions will continue on this initiative.

OMB
Guidelines for Project Management
As project management has become increasingly critical to the successful
execution of the work of government, the White House Office of Management
and Budget has developed a certification program to ensure that federal
project managers possess the necessary competencies to succeed at
various stages of their careers.
In April 2007,
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced certification
requirements for program and project managers assigned to major
acquisitions. The Federal Acquisition Certification
for Program and Project Managers (FAC-P/PM) will apply to all major
acquisitions as defined in
Office of Management and Budget Circular A-11, Part 7, exhibit 300,
Planning, Budgeting, Acquisition, and Management of Capital Assets.
