Problem Scope

How can we help NASA engineers across Level 2 and Level 3 have a shared vision of the Space Launch System (SLS) progress and improve team communication to minimize milestone review delays?

How our problem evolved

Original Problem Statement

How do we help systems engineers know when they're "done" with this stage of designing the rocket and, more specifically, understand the complex information required to do so?


How our Problem Changed

Over the course of our research, we found that the greater problem was getting to "done," rather than not knowing when a phase was "done."

We pivoted our focus to better enable NASA systems engineers to understand the dependencies involved in the process of getting to "done" with the design of the SLS rocket.
