Phoenix Business Journal: Remembering Kelley Johnson, aircraft design icon and project management superstar

Categories: Publications

Tags: Engineer, F-104, Kelley Johnson, PBJ, Phoenix Business Journal, Project Management, Skunk works, SR-71, U-2

One of my engineering idols is Clarence “Kelley” Johnson. He led the design of many of the coolest aircraft ever made, and he was a pioneer in managing large engineering projects. In “Remembering Kelley Johnson, aircraft design icon and project management superstar” I talk about why he was such an important figure in technology, and some rules he developed for effective project management. Even if you are not an airplane person, it is worth getting to know his work and his methods.
