  2. Decision Making Structure • The Constellation Program uses a board/panel structure for making decisions that affect the project, as well as for making technical implementation decisions. • Example of the decisions that affect the project: • Anything that requires a change to an already approved designed component. • Example of a technical implementation decision: • Whether to approve a design modification requiring additional funding, or selecting which launch pad the program will use and develop at Kennedy Space Center.

  8. Reflection Can you think of other systems where decisions are made using a board and panel process? What are the advantages of this type of decision making process? What are the disadvantages? Why is documentation so important throughout the decision making process?
