Staffing & Building the Project TeamProject Planning “Best” Practices

During Formulation - before Instrument/Payload selection

• Learn/Develop Mission Information, Responsibilities, Organizational Structure, & Resource needs

• Start Staffing Process– Work with functional organizations to hand pick core team – Conduct one-on-one & all hands meetings

• Acquire Office Facilities• Build Team Environment

– Conduct kickoff, retreat, & develop project environment/communication• Work Trades & Develop Concepts (formulation)• Assist in Payload Accommodation Assessment & Prepare for

Selection

Select/build the team, work formulation, then hit the ground running upon payload selection

Example

Process & Tools used for Staffing & Building the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Team

SDO Background• In formulation with Instruments just selected• First Living With a Star (LWS) Mission, part of Sun Earth Connection theme.• Will characterize the dynamic state of the Sun enhancing the understanding

of solar processes and space weather. Viewed as Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) follow-on

• Provides continuous high rate data stream for solar evaluation, GEO orbit, launch August 2007, 5 year life

• NASA GSFC will manage the mission, build the S/C in-house, manage instrument contracts, integrate the instruments, perform Observatory testing, develop/manage ground system & mission operations

• Investigation organizations responsible for Instrument development, Science Operations Center, & data products

Science Kickoff Invitation

The SDO "Science Kickoff" will be held Thursday, March 7, at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore. The first presentation will begin at 8:45 am (sorry, we had to work with their schedule!). To facilitate the arrivals, we will be serving breakfast at 8:00 am in the Harbor Terrace Room.

The event will consist of a series of presentations and discussions intended to give the SDO spacecraft team an overview of solar science, space weather, and solar observations and instrumentation.

The presentation is non-proprietary; all individuals working on SDO are invited to participate.

We are planning on finishing early afternoon (2:30 or 3:00), so people can either take advantage of the science center or head back to GSFC for a partial work day.

Continental breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided.

We will be in the Harbor Terrace Room all day, except for the opening presentation, which will be in the IMAX theater from 8:45 to 9:45 am.

We need a headcount of participants for conference support. Additionally, we are arranging for a GSFC van, which will leave the Building 16 W parking lot ~ 7:45 am.

See you there!!
