TECHNIQUES FOR SUCCESSFUL PROJECT MANAGEMENT LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE SPALLATION NEUTRON SOURCE

Abstract

There are many planned or nascent particle-accelerator-based projects world-wide. Often these are large and complex projects that can benefit from strong project management. Following the premise that it is better to learn from the community�s successes rather than its mistakes, this paper will draw on successful experiences from the Oak Ridge Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project in elaborating strategies and techniques for successful project management.
