Survey of NASA's Lessons Learned Process

Abstract

You asked us to assess whether the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has adequate mechanisms in place to ensure that past lessons learned from mission failures are being applied. As part of your request, you asked that we provide the results of our survey regarding the collection and sharing of lessons learned by NASA program and project managers. This letter provides the results. We plan to issue a more detailed report on the effectiveness of NASA's lessons learned process early next calendar year.
