Abstract

Collectively, the astronomical community is responsible for building phenomenal, cutting edge observatories and cameras; machines that have revolutionized humankind’s understanding of the Universe. It is the nature of these complex projects to be inherently difficult to fully scope a-priori, leading to cost and schedule overruns. While we should not expect to eliminate this risk entirely, more can be done to manage change while executing our programs. By creating a culture of baseline control, the entire team can be enlisted to help identify and mitigate programmatic impacts in the best manner for the system. Practical baseline management habits and practices will be presented, with an emphasis on how to implement a robust change control process and culture amongst your program team.
