This slide presentation discusses the question of 'Was Project Management Life Really Better in Apollo.' Was money really flowing freely all through Apollo. Are we wallowing in nostalgia and comparing current circumstances to a managerial time which did not exist. This talk discusses these and other questions as background for you as today s project managers. There are slides showing the timelines from before the speech that Kennedy gave promising to land a man on the moon, to the early 60's, when the manned space center prepared the preliminary lunar landing mission design, an NASA organization chart from 1970, various photos of the rockets, and the astronauts are presented. The next slides discuss the budgets from the 1960's to the early 1970's. Also the results of a survey of 62 managers, who were asked 'What problems pose the greatest obstacles to successful project performance.'
