Two Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) team members attended a NASA class in Project Management Principles & Practices. Sherry Harrison (User Services lead and project manager of the AMSR Science Investigator-led Processing System – SIPS) and William Ellett (Systems Administration lead and project manager of the processing system for the Lightning Imaging Sensor on the International Space Station – ISS LIS) gained important skills in defining project tasks, roles and responsibilities, scheduling and risk assessment. Dr. Richard Blakeslee, ISS LIS Principal Investigator also attended the class, and together they focused on the Near Real Time processing and distribution of ISS LIS data for in-class exercises.
