“The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile, is the largest astronomical project in existence. ALMA will be a single telescope of revolutionary design, composed initially of 66 high precision antennas located on the Chajnantor plateau, 5000 meters altitude in northern Chile”. From ALMA website http://www.almaobservatory.org/
Oregon Forecasting Inc. worked with Triad Project Management to supporting the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) project. This is a billion dollar science instrument being constructed through contractual partnerships by 3 International Funding/Management groups: the European Southern Observatory, the NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and Japan.

Twelve Project Schedules are integrated into a (13,500 activity - 16,400 relationships) Multi-Project Master Schedule (IPS). The IPS is statused twice a month and is integrated into Cobra’s for the EVMS update once a month. As a consultant, I have been the Master Scheduler, instructor, and an integral part of developing the EVMS including the WBS, OBS and Budget Estimates for the Performance Measurement Baseline. I have trained the Project Management Control System staff of 6 Planner/Cost Control people on 3 continents from inception to maturity. https://science.nrao.edu/facilities/alma
