Technical Project Management Short Course
Center for Detectors Workshop - Project Engineering
Dr. Penny Warren
Senior Manager for Lockheed Martin Space Optical Sensor Components in Optical Payloads Center of Excellence (OPCOE)
Dr. Penny Warren will present a 6-hour course on project engineering. She will cover how to setup a program for success and common tools used for project management: scheduling, accounting, roles & responsibilities, and risk assessment. In-process project execution topics covered will be leading a team, resolution of anomalies, and subcontract management. Material which supports the clean close-out of a program will be presented such as lessons learned recording, storing actuals, and risk review.
Speaker Bio
Penny Warren is currently serving as the Senior Manager for Lockheed Martin Space Optical Sensor Components in Optical Payloads Center of Excellence (OPCOE). Optical Sensor Components provides staffing and oversight for make/buy/build/test and delivery of optical payload components and sub-assemblies. In this this capacity, Penny is responsible for Tier 3 product development in the areas of Focal Plane Subsystem, Lasers Systems, and Optics. Prior to joining OPCOE, Penny was an individual contributor, manager, and Senior Manager at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, CO for 20 years where she lead the 113-person Optical and Detector Engineering team. Penny also worked as the Technology Area Lead for Focal Plane Subsystems, one of 13 technology leads at Ball, for 4 years. Penny has been an IPT Lead / CAM for over a dozen focal plane array subsystems and star trackers for exquisite programs, has supported over 25 ROMs and proposals, and has lead multi-million dollar subcontracts. In her last year at Ball, Penny was the Deputy Project Engineering Functional Manager teaching project engineering best practices across all lines of business. Key successes were being a part of the team to develop a game-changing reconfiguration focal plane electronics, writing the company-wide New Hire On-boarding Guide, and writing/teaching Functional Management 101 for other managers. Before moving to Colorado, Penny worked at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C. for 6 years as a Research Physicist where she worked on sensor fusion and senior characterization. At NRL, Penny was the Co_PI of a Marine Corps Warfighting Lab project which fielded 2 engineering unit UAV helicopters each carrying an EO-IR gimbal that downlinked geo-located imagery. Penny holds a PhD from Purdue University in high energy nuclear physics.
