ECM (Enterprise Content Management) is the NASA IV&V Program’s enterprise content management system, a formalized means of organizing and storing documents and other content that relates to the Program’s processes and activities.

Heritage Reviews are performed as part of IV&V Project Initiation. Heritage reviews are intended to: (1) Ensure faults do not cascade from one project to another through inheritance or reuse of hardware interfaces and software. (2) Promote IV&V team understanding of previous faults, past developer assumptions, and on-orbit anomaly impacts, supporting a more complete scoping […]

A retrospective is an opportunity to learn and improve. It is time set aside – outside of day-to-day routine – to reflect on past events and behaviors. Retrospectives are conducted within project teams (technical and non-technical).

TQ&E (Technical Quality and Excellence) Checkpoint Reviews are typically held to provide additional insight, suggestions, and recommendations to projects as they are preparing for an upcoming milestone. TQ&E will assemble a panel to review the materials developed and provide feedback based on the Checkpoint Objectives that projects or groups define themselves.

Monday Workshops provide a forum for knowledge sharing within the IV&V community to maximize our experiences and raise the effectiveness of the organization as a whole. These will tend to be oriented towards information sharing and future needs as opposed to current needs, but not exclusively. 60 minutes. Open to the entire IV&V Program.

Weekly IV&V Tech Discussions are for NASA IV&V employees to share practical topics related to technical work (e.g. “how to use this tool,” “how to do this analysis,” “what we learned from our experiences on xyz”). The focus is topics that our analysis teams can use right now, or need to be made aware of, […]

The Integrated Collaborative Environment (ICE) Program provides a common repository of the authoritative data for Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD).

A Pause and Learn (also known as an After Action Review) helps project team members reflect on their experiences and articulate their own lessons learned. It is a process for individual reflection, learning and sharing at the work group level.

Half-day, twice yearly forums where Goddard practitioners and leaders reflected on successes, failures, and the challenges of working on complex projects.
