Project Management Office

As of July 1, 2012, the Laboratory's Project Management Office (http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/Ops/atwork/PMO/) has become part of the Engineering Division. Kem Robinson, will serve in the role of Laboratory Project Management Officer as defined by the Laboratory's Earned Value Management System. This change provides for a clear transfer of responsibilities from Jim Krupnick, the former Laboratory Project Management Officer. It leverages the core expertise in project management and project controls that exists in Engineering. And it helps to make the Laboratory more efficient by consolidating functions and responsibilities. Hereafter, the Laboratory's primary contact for DOE Order 413.3b, Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets, and the Lab's EVMS is Kem Robinson (510-486-6327).
