COMMENTS: What can Astronomers learn from an IceCube? In this case, a lot!

This is an insider’s story of how a small team of Scientists, Engineering and Project Management were able to bring IceCube into existence on time, on budget, and comfortably in excess of technical requirements. This fun and engaging presentation shares many of the actual working documents and photos of key steps during the development process, along with a few stories you’ll probably hear nowhere else!
