Introduction

In 1990, the National Academy of Sciences recommended that the

Department of Energy (DOE) build a laser capable of simulating thermonuclear

conditions, which would allow nuclear weapons scientists to evaluate nuclear

weapons’ behavior without testing. In

1993, DOE approved plans for the laser, now called the National Ignition

Facility (NIF), and in 1996, chose to build it at Lawrence Livermore National

Laboratory in Livermore, California.

DOE’s goal is to produce intense pressures and temperatures that may,

for the first time, simulate in a laboratory the thermonuclear conditions

created in nuclear explosions. This

quest was to bring star power to earth by harnessing the power of nuclear

fusion as a source of energy. This NIF

project was approved in 1995.

The purpose of this monograph is to summarize an article on recent

recipients of the Project Management Institute’s Project of the Year Award. The

monograph will further discuss the role of the project manager or team, the

organizational setting, the recipient’s approach to project integration

management, and obstacles that had the potential of adversely impacting the

triple constraints (Strayer University Materials April, 2014)

Summary of how the project

manager or team exhibited exceptional and ethical project management practices

Construction of the facility was a massive project that began in

1997. NIF was originally expected to

cost about $2.1 billion and completed in 2002.

In 1997, DOE approved a $100 million increase and delayed its completion

until 2004....
