The document discusses integrating NASA technical standards with the NASA lessons learned program to improve interoperability between the two systems. It provides an overview of the technical standards program and lessons learned program, and demonstrates how linking related standards and lessons learned entries can increase their value to NASA users. The integration is aimed at improving search capabilities and bidirectional navigation between standards and lessons to enhance visibility of relevant content.

1. Integrating NASA Technical Standards
with NASA Lessons Learned
PM Challenge
February 10, 2011
https://standards.nasa.gov
2. Agenda
I. Overview of Tech Standards Program
II. NEN/LLIS/START Integration
III. Lessons Learned Program Overview
I. Applying the old to the new programs
II. Capturing the old programs going away
(Shuttle, Constellation)
IV. Demo - Use Cases
I. NASA Standard (show link & details )
II. Industry Standard
V. QA
3. NTSP Overview
• NASA Technical Standards Program was established in 1997
• Program objectives:
– Establish and Maintain “NASA Technical Standards” as a Common Baseline
for NASA Programs
• Evaluate, Support, and Adopt National and International Standards where
they meet NASA’s needs
• Develop Internal NASA Standards where available standards are not
adequate
– Support the Use of Technical Standards on NASA Programs in the Systems
Requirement Process
• Provide Access for All <nasa.gov> Users to Full Text Standards ~ 370
Sources at http://standards.nasa.gov
• Link Standards to Lessons Learned for more effective use
• Provide automated Notice of Updates for Standards registered by users
https://standards.nasa.gov 3
4. Primary Activities of NTSP
Document
• Manage the development of NASA Standards where no industry
standard will suffice
Deliver
• Provide access to government and industry standards through the
Standards and Technical Assistance Resource Tool (START)
Educate
• Create awareness about the Program’s mission and activities across
the Agency
• Assist and educate users on the functions of START
https://standards.nasa.gov 4
5. START Overview
• Agency-wide access to ~1.4M
Specifications, Standards, and
engineering tools
http://standards.nasa.gov
• Approximately 13,000 registered
users
• Watch Lists/Alerts Feature
– Provides electronic notification
of revisions for registered
standards imposed on
contracts by program/projects
• Technical Standards Tutorials to
provide more information on high-
profile standards
https://standards.nasa.gov 5
6. Engineering Tools
• Haystack Gold®
– Logistics part information from over 40 databases
• 4D-Online Parts Universe
– Electronic component database with more than 25 million
parts
• eFunda
– Engineering reference resource
• MatWeb
– Searchable database of materials properties
• Materials and Processes Technical Information System
(MAPTIS)
– Single-point access for materials properties for NASA and
NASA associated contractors and organizations

8. NEN/LLIS/START Integration
Provide bidirectional navigation between NASA
Lessons Learned and NASA/Industry/Government
Standards to improve visibility of the related
content to the users.
Integration of NEN, LL and Standards significantly
improves the interoperability of the NASA Lessons
Learned and the Standards program and increase
the overall value to the NASA user community.

9. NEN/LL/NTPS USER REQUIREMENTS
1. Quick, simple pointers and links.
2. Common (or more similar) look and feel.
3. Refine business processes and templates (for Standards,
Lessons, etc.) to harvest more metadata as NEW products are
developed/generated.
4. Update metadata on existing products (Lessons, Standards,
etc).
5. Common search-retrieve device.
6. Live update device/process to allow users to update a
reference within products.

• A small subset of the linking between NASA/Industry/Government Standards and the Lessons
Learned in LLIS
• Expand the bidirectional linking (red lines) between NASA/Industry/Government Standards to
the Lessons Learned in LLIS

12. • Web-based system developed in 1994
• Over 2,000 Lessons dating back to 1972
A lesson learned is knowledge or understanding gained
by experience. The experience may be positive, as in
a successful test or mission, or negative, as in a
mishap or failure. Both should be considered
excellent sources of lessons learned.
13. Lessons are available on a Public and
Internal Site
http://nen.nasa.gov/web/LL
http://llis.nasa.gov/ 13
14. A lesson learned entry
1) pertains to safety or
mission success
2) is likely to be relevant to
other projects
3) does not duplicate an
existing lesson learned
Existing documents such as
PowerPoint presentations,
white papers and technical
reports can be used to create
lessons

15. Lessons Learned Lifecycle
A lesson learned is knowledge or understanding gained by experience. The experience may be positive, as in
a successful test or mission, or negative, as in a mishap or failure. Both should be considered excellent
sources of lessons learned.

Lessons learned are important to future programs because they show insights
from previous projects.
