PROGRAM/PROJECT MANAGEMENT RESOURCE LIST #15

Revised September 2017

Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library

Program management lies between strategic planning and project management, since a strategic plan proposes programs that an organization will undertake. Each program is made up of several different projects. For instance, the Pioneer program included over a dozen spacecraft, ranging from simple test craft like Pioneer IV to deep space probes like Pioneer X, the first spacecraft from Earth to head on an interstellar journey. You may find other items of interest in some of our webpages, such as Vision and Strategic Planning, Project Management Introductory Texts, Project Budgeting and Cost Control, and Measuring Return on Investment for Government Programs and Agencies.

All items are available at the Headquarters Library, except as noted. NASA Headquarters employees and contractors: Call x0168 or email Library@hq.nasa.gov for information on borrowing or in-library use of any of these items. Members of the public: Contact your local library for the availability of these items. NASA Headquarters employees can request additional materials or research on this topic. The Library welcomes your comments or suggestions about this webpage.
