- 5. Introduction to theNASA Engineering Network • The Office of the Chief Engineer created the NASA Engineering Network to be a robust, flexible knowledge management system that • networks users to NASA’s vast knowledge resources, both documented and tacit • provides a multi-purpose community management tool, task management tool, and lessons learned tool • allows for managing and sharing of discipline standards, requirements and processes with a minimum of labor • NEN integrates a content management system, portal, search engine, and engineering community management system in support of engineering discipline communities and NASA lessons learned NEN PM Challenge 2007 5
- 6. Key Knowledge Resource– NASA Lessons Learned • 1,602 fully vetted Lessons Learned going back to 1972 • Managed by Lessons Learned Steering Committee with representation from all 10 NASA Centers • Pro: represents NASA’s highest validity of reusable knowledge • Con: not a complete body of NASA knowledge NEN PM Challenge 2007 6
