Cost Estimation as a Function of Project Management for the International Space Station Project
Krista Stroh - Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton
Over the past few years as budgets have become tighter, NASA has been trying to do more science and more exploration with less resources. As a result, the International Space Station Program employs cost estimation as a function of project management in order to make better decisions. The cost estimators, through the use of parametric tools such as SEER-H, have been able to execute effective project controls for various customers, including the program manager, project engineers, and the procurement office. This presentation will exhibit how the tools are being used effectively and some of the tactical approaches taken in using the parametrics.
