    Abstract
    While the US Army Engineer Regiment is encouraging leaders to obtain Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications, accepted Project Management tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) are not widely practiced, and therefore do not effectively benefit the Engineer Regiment or the Army. There are vast amounts of academic information available on project management concepts; however, there is very little with regards to Army doctrine that addresses this subject. The Project Management Handbook for Officer and NCOs guides Army Leaders in the use of these concepts and TTPs when planning and executing projects. The use of these proven project management processes will enhance the skill set of Army Leaders and planners, resulting in more efficient and successful completion of projects. Army Officers are well trained to plan and execute combat operations using current Army doctrine. However, these models are not always the best framework to use for non-combat missions or “administrative'’ projects. This Project Management Handbook does not replace any current doctrine, but by building on those skills currently trained and used, it provides a framework that in many cases is better suited for the challenges of administrative projects. Use of this handbook will also provide Army leaders and planners a reference that will enhance their operational planning skills through the understanding of industry proven techniques.

      Research Gateway Management System for ARSC Projects

      Castro, Vincent (2012)
      The Research Gateway Management System (RGMS) is an account management system written in Python1 geared towards creating and facilitating user authentication and management for Arctic Region Supercomputer Center (ARSC) users on the ARSC systems. The intent of the RGMS is to forge an easy to use interface for clients to manage project information and for system administrators to manage projects and users. Utilizing this account management system will catalyze a transition towards the simplification of user and project requests and creation procedures as well as streamline user access to ARSC systems.

      Using Project Management to Align External Stakeholders During Exploratory Well Permitting in State Leases on the North Slope

      Stribling, Owen (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2015-05-01)
      Natural resource extraction projects can have a polarizing effect on stakeholders. Oil and gas projects that take place on the North Slope of Alaska are no exception. Not taking the time to build long term relationships with important stakeholders, and collaborate with them, throughout the project can amplify this problem and create many more. This project was designed to research if, and if so how, alignment of external stakeholders is planned for. Past project plans were examined to extract lessons learned and best practices. A literature review was conducted to find other improvement ideas. Project management tools and techniques were gleaned and recommendations have been made on ways to align external stakeholders during the exploratory well permitting process.
