Academy of Program and Project Leadership (APPL)
Professional and competent program and project leaders are vital to the future success of NASA. To help train and support the development of such leaders, the Academy of Program Project Leadership was established in 1997. APPL is an outgrowth of the Program Project Management Initiative that started in 1989. APPL has developed into a comprehensive and dynamic resource, which includes the Program Management Development Program (PMDP), Leadership Training, Knowledge Sharing, Web Tools and much more.
The PMDP provides information and resources to aid career development planning for the NASA Project Management workforce Leadership Training begins with APPL. From the NASA curriculum, participants are encouraged to develop their own path of study. Each program is assigned to one of four different levels, offered as a guide for your individual stage of management training:
Knowledge Sharing provides a resource center and an information portal for NASA Project/Program Managers, in which practitioners teach practitioners. This program has three components: the Forum of Master Project Managers, Transfer Wisdom Workshops, and ASK Magazine. Over the past few years, many of NASA's more experienced practitioners have left, while the number of projects has increased. Increasingly, a younger, less experienced work force is in charge of complex projects and there is a need for increased mentoring, support, and development. APPL facilitates the transfer of this knowledge, at the same time helping to develop future NASA project leaders and serving as a source of innovation for project leadership.
Web Tools provides dynamic links to management tools that are designed to provide project leaders with efficient, practical and tested models for planning and implementing NASA programs. For further information regarding APPL, program management and career development, visit the APPEL, Academy of Program, Project and Engineering Leadership "True leaders are not those who strive to be first but those who are first to strive and who give their all for the success of the team. True leaders are first to see the need, envision the plan, and empower the team for action. By the strength of the leader's commitment, the power of the team is unleashed." --Abraham Lincoln PBMA Video Nuggets on This Subject: * Useful information and assistance before you view movies
