  1. The Role of APPEL at NASA To access more info , look in “notes” The Academy of Program/Project Engineering Leadership (APPEL) supports NASA’s mission by promoting individual and team excellence in program/project management and engineering through the application of learning strategies, methods, models, and tools. APPEL provides professional development products and services for individual practitioners as well as project/ program teams at every level.

  2. Four Essentials for Project Success The following are both necessary and sufficient for team success: • Teamwork – in a productive context; • Leadership – effective actions throughout the team; • ProcessUtilization – Using effective processes; and • Knowledge – “lessons-learned,” “how-to…” APPEL provides NASA teams the capability to activelymanage all four elements. “Active team performance management:” • Measures team conditions with online assessments; • Addresses shortfalls with tailored processes; and • Reassesses to verify results and track trends. “Space flight is terribly unforgiving. We are forever accountable for what we do, and what we fail to do.” - Gene Kranz to the Apollo Flight Controllers after the pad fire.
