PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS

Program / Project Management

Skill Level: Open to all

This course provides detailed insight of NASA’s risk management principles and practices. The course takes up and explores in greater detail core concepts introduced in Fundamentals of Risk Management at NASA course. Recommended approaches and guidance for applying Risk Informed Decision Making (RIDM) and Continuous Risk Management (CRM) processes are introduced through engaging lecture, discussions, small group collaborative exercises, and case studies. Required pre-requisite Fundamentals of Risk Management at NASA SMA-OV-WBT-137 available in SATERN late February, 2025.

This course is designed for NASA’s technical workforce, including systems engineers and project personnel who seek to develop the competencies required to succeed as a leader of a project team, functional team, or small project.
