Skill Level: Project Managers/Project Systems Engineers or higher.

There is no guaranteed recipe for recovering a troubled project, and no two troubled projects are ever exactly alike. APPEL-RTP is a two-day course that explores the attributes of troubled projects and addresses the role of the project manager in changing project outcomes. The course is designed to help experienced project managers to identify, analyze, and perform corrective actions when managing projects that are not succeeding in terms of cost, schedule, and/or promised technical performance or where the sponsors or other key project stakeholders are unsatisfied with the direction of the project.

This course is designed for NASA’s workforce, including experienced Project and Program Managers, Lead and Senior Systems Engineers, Chief Engineers and Business Group Leaders.
