Predict project risks using NASA’s lessons from the past. Design a project management tool that extracts past project risk information and uses AI/ML to predict risks on future projects.

RISKY SPACE BUSINESS: NASA AI RISK PREDICTION CHALLENGE
If you’re an AI/ML specialist or someone who is great at extracting data from past project reports, this challenge is for you! The Risky Space Business Challenge is looking for White Papers and algorithms to help NASA predict risks on future projects. If you’re up to the challenge, you could win a share of the $50,000 purse.

To participate in this challenge, you must describe or show how you would:
1. Extract risk data from past project reports
2. Create a template for future project reporting
3. Create a taxonomy of risks for future use
4. Use AI/ML to identify potential risks in future projects using past project reports. Winning solutions will be used to help NASA, and potentially anyone managing a project, improve their ability to identify risks before they become real issues

CHALLENGE OVERVIEW
All project plans are created with the hope that everything will go to plan. However, that rarely happens; schedules slip, costs increase, and components can’t be built as planned. If only you could use all the knowledge from past projects to help you assess risk on future projects. That is what NASA’s Game Changing Development (GCD) Program hopes to do through the Risky Space Business Challenge.

GCD is looking for competitors who can solve one or more or all of the following:
- an algorithm to extract risk data from past project reports
- a template for reporting project data that provides data structures suitable for AI/ML
- new ways of categorizing risk and creating data structures to enable AI/ML
a plan to put it all together to use AI/ML to identify project risks

For this challenge, whether you choose to address all or part of it, you will need to write a White Paper and provide algorithms, if available, describing or demonstrating your solution.

CHALLENGE BACKGROUND
Being able to identify and manage risk is essential to effectively run any development project. The goal of this Challenge is to move GCD from recognizing and reporting risk during a project and after the project is completed, to being able to identify potential risks by comparing project documentation on active projects to historical data and information available from other GCD projects.

PRIZES
Total Purse: $50,000

Up to 3 prizes will be awarded to the top solvers that achieve the requirements of the challenge for a total of $35,000. The best solution will be awarded $20,000, second place will be awarded $10,000, and third place will be awarded $5,000. Another $15,000 in prizes may be awarded for innovative solutions in data extraction, data formatting, or risk prediction with a minimum prize amount of $2,500. These additional prizes can be given to solutions that place in the top three, or to other submissions that are exceptional in these areas. If fewer solutions meet the criteria for a prize, the money will be redistributed among the qualified winners.

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Registration will be open from the launch of the challenge until the submission deadline of February 7, 2022, 5:00 PM ET.

To Register for the Challenge, Teams must:
1. Sign up for an account on the Freelancer.com platform
2. Complete and submit the Registration Form
Registration Forms will be reviewed for eligibility; ineligible teams will be notified and teams that meet the Challenge eligibility requirements, as listed in the Rules, may continue in the competition. Eligible teams will be provided with the sample project data from NASA to use for the solution.

Link to Registration Form: https://forms.gle/dVgahfhynvrqj2qk9

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
A team or individual may submit more than one solution to the challenge. However, each submission must be a substantially different solution. For example, if the solutions use a different algorithm for extracting data or assessing risk, they can be submitted separately. However, if two submissions from the same team are deemed to be too similar, only the last submission will be considered for judging.

All solutions must:
- Be written in English and cannot be handwritten.
- Be from an eligible team.
- Include uploaded Registration Form, Submission Form. Submissions may also include algorithms demonstrating any or all portions of the solutions.
- Include solutions to all parts of the challenge.

The White Paper information must be submitted using the Challenge Submission Form. The Submission Form will be sent to eligible participants by the Challenge Team after registration.

What is the criteria for which a project risk becomes captured in the "Lessons Learned" system? Mainly asking because I'm not sure if I missed it while searching, but did any of the risks from the Astrobee or SynBio projects get captured in the Lessons Learned system?

  Hi, apologies for the delayed reply. Here is the answer to your question: There is no clear criteria for what constitutes a lessons learned entry. Remember that they are typically generated from issues (has happened) rather than risks (could happen). See NASA Policy Directive NPD 7120.6a (https://nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/displayDir.cfm?t=NPD&c=7120&s=6)
  
  Astrobee and SynBio projects are not captured in the Lessons Learned database.

I am excited about the competition and I would love to join a team to collaboratively work on it.
I am experienced in project risk management for capital complex projects. I have been doing this for the past 16 years. I am also diving into data analysis, AI and deep learning.
Because I am not from a designated country (Egypt), it is not possible to work alone! But guess what, that makes it much more exciting working through a team.
Hope to hear from a motivated team leader soon. Cheers!
