NNSA’s Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) recently launched a project management mobile app for both Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS, a first for NNSA. The app is part of G2, GTRI’s awarding winning project management information system [1]. The app will further support GTRI project and program managers’ ability to manage complex projects to secure vulnerable nuclear and radiological materials around the world.
G2 incorporates all the project management tools into a single, comprehensive, and agile IT platform, allowing GTRI project managers to quickly and effectively filter and analyze large amounts of real time, geo-spatial linked information and integrate that data with scope, schedule, cost and infrastructure information for the entire portfolio of GTRI projects. This app will allow the GTRI team to manage projects wherever they are in the world, all from the palm of their hand. Because of G2, GTRI has been able to increase the scale and scope of its work and manage large increases in its budget without having to hire additional staff.
This app is a further demonstration of NNSA’s commitment to project management, and an example of how NNSA is innovating to improve program effectiveness and efficiency. As NNSA works around the world to reduce nuclear dangers, to keep the American people safe, and enhance global security, NNSA is committed to ensuring it has the best project management tools and practices in place to ensure NNSA is a good steward of the taxpayers’ money.
