Return to Mars: Leading a Complex Project - $595 per student (90 days) – 14 contact hours
NASA challenged Palatine Group to teach its project managers to get to Mars. Literally! Palatine Group came back with Return to Mars: Leading a Complex Project, a groundbreaking, interactive, media-rich learning experience that recreates NASA’s innovative Pathfinder Mission to Mars in an online course.

Earn 14 PDUs towards your certification or recertification and gain valuable knowledge and managerial insight with this web-based project management course originally designed for NASA project managers and now available to industry professionals and corporations in our eLearning library at Palatine Group. The learning design for the Return to Mars course integrates a foundation project management skills curriculum with an advanced project (case study) -- i.e., the Mars Pathfinder mission. This unique and highly flexible learning solution develops competencies for project management professionals at multiple levels of experience.

The course uses an advanced project to create a dramatic context for a learner to build skills and practice project management techniques within a subsystem of the Pathfinder mission/project and puts you in the hot-seat of a bold attempt to land a spacecraft on Mars. The budget is tight: $150 million, though the last mission to Mars cost over $1 billion. The schedule is rigid: do it in 3.5 years, or you’ll miss the launch window. Since participants get to simulate a real project, they come away with skills and information they can immediately apply to their own projects.

The course consists of 14 modules (called episodes) with each episode comprised of access quizzes, exercises based around a business case study, job aids and tools, lessons learned movies from the simulated team, problem-solving scenarios and activities, and access to Microsoft Project scheduling software (so you can work through the real Mars Pathfinder airbags schedule). There is a final test for PDU credits. Seat time for each episode is approximately 45 minutes.

The courseware gives participants a clear understanding of the dynamics and challenges of project management, and provides the tools and techniques to manage the entire life cycle of a project. The course develops essential soft skills by immersing the participant in a simulation of Pathfinder’s unique project environment, stressing performance and creativity, as well as innovation under tight budget and schedule restraints. Alongside its critical insights into the value of such skills as leadership, teamwork, and communication, Return to Mars provides practical tools such as work breakdown structures, lessons learned, and 60-day scheduling software.
