2、ills and Specialization, and is Required to Have a Security Clearance Description of Driving Event: The project had three significant challenges with respect to managing human resources, and the potential loss of any project member was a significant risk. First, the project was classified and used a
3、 small, select, and collocated team. When a project member left or transferred to other work, the delay in bringing in someone new could be significant and cause both a delay in schedule and overload on other team members. Second, the project was developing two identical flight vehicles, which split
4、 some project resources into teams dedicated to each vehicle. However, many of the project personnel were specialists devoted to both vehicles. The bulk of the schedule was sequential to make effective and efficient use of these people. However, at times parallel efforts were taking place that stret

The result was that many members devoted to one vehicle could not assist in the efforts of completing the other
6、vehicle. Lesson(s) Learned: When a project team is only “one deep“ in a highly structured, time driven and classified effort, the loss of a single key team member can cause significant delays and/or overburden the available workforce. Cross training can reduce the impact of this loss until the vacan
