 PBMA-KMS deployed in March of 2001 is the first fully operational NASA-wide multi-functional Knowledge Management System  Knowledgebase 200+ Best Practices 300+ Video Nuggets Program Profiles Lessons Learned 500+ External Links  Function Work Groups (CoP) Web Conferencing Expertise Location

 To ensure PBMA-KMS content collection and delivery efforts are capable of meeting the needs of NASA today, tomorrow and in the future.

 Compliance Verification Information System Used by the CV community to gather information to support the management of CV activities by integrating and coordinating similar CV functions and taking advantage of CV activities conducted by other groups. Facilitates audit preparation and execution, archival of CV results and findings, corrective action tracking and closeout, CV performance analysis, and risk-informed planning to provide justification for annual CV funding profiles.  Compliance Verification Tool Kit Prepares users for future Safety and Mission Assurance compliance verification audits. CV material is intended to compliment the official NASA Policy Directives and Procedural Requirements (NPD/NPR) located in the NASA Online Directives Information System (NODIS)  Assurance Process Mapping Used by program/project managers to actively manage the implementation of Safety and Mission Assurance requirements. Provides graphical and narrative representation and tracking of the SMA roles, responsibilities, and relationships within a given program/project.
