(Recorded at Masters Forum 17.)

Legacy of the First Rocket to the Moon

The Masters Forum program was designed to enable NASA and the programs participants to share project management best practices and lessons learned, cultivate a community of reflective practitioners, build cross-center relationships, and develop leadership expertise of the agency's veteran and emerging project managers. 
 
Consistent throughout all Masters Forums is the belief in the power of storytelling. Stories engage and motivate. They provide a framework to deal with extraordinary change, allowing us to imagine new possibilities, preparing us for the supposedly unheard of and unimaginable. Through stories, we can convey knowledge that helps us innovate, problem solve, and add valuable tools to the toolboxes of project management and engineering professionals.
