Integrate

Big news from mission control: Noemi Norl is officially on board as a judge for the Ambitious Machines Challenge! 🚀 Noemi is the Customer Integration Champion at Axiom Space, where she leads Private Astronaut Crew Operations (yes, that’s as cool as it sounds). With a career dedicated to advancing human spaceflight and inspiring the next wave of aerospace leaders, she’s bringing serious expertise to this challenge—and we’re absolutely here for it. Noemi’s take on the challenge? Pure inspiration: “These students are tackling an ambitious project, and I can’t wait to see the collaboration, creativity, and fresh perspectives they’ll bring to recreating the International Space Station. It’s inspiring to watch the next generation dive into the same complex problems we face in real-world space missions, and I’m looking forward to seeing how their ideas take shape.” We’re beyond hyped to have Noemi guiding our student innovators as they dive into recreating the ISS program management lifecycle. Her mentorship is going to take this challenge to another orbit. Stay tuned for more updates as we roll out the incredible panel of judges helping shape the future of space innovation.

Incongruity—fancy word, big problem. When teams aren’t working in sync, communication breaks down, decisions get stuck, and confusion takes over. The result? Missed deadlines, rising costs, and extra stress for everyone involved. Now imagine the opposite: fluid communication, one clear source of truth, and easy-to-track progress. That’s how companies avoid the mess and launch their projects smoothly. That’s Integrate.

🕹️ What do Tetris and MS Project have in common? They were both introduced in 1984. Tetris revolutionized gaming. Microsoft Project? It became the cutting edge for managing programs in a world running on floppy disks and fax machines. Fast forward 40 years: Gaming has evolved to be massively multiplayer and immersive– connecting gamers worldwide. Project—and the way we think about program management—hasn’t kept up. Today, we’re building spacecraft, EVs, and renewable energy systems—machines that will define humanity’s future. Yet we’re still relying on DOS-era tools to manage these high-stakes programs. That’s a problem. Introducing multiplayer program management. At Integrate, we believe the future isn’t built with tools from 1984. It’s built with tools designed to connect people, companies, and countries in real-time—the kind that matches the speed and scale of the teams building the world’s most ambitious machines. 🔥 Integrate is an MMORPG for getting shit done: Every stakeholder and company works together on one platform, in real-time. 🔥 No more manually syncing schedules, version mismatches, or lost context. 🔥 Whether you’re launching satellites, building nuclear reactors, or developing next-gen transportation, this is how teams accelerate innovation. Humanity’s biggest challenges—climate change, space exploration, sustainable transportation—demand bold solutions. But bold ideas mean nothing without execution. We can’t afford to rely on DOS-era tools to solve 21st-century problems. Multiplayer program management is how we accelerate humanity. It’s how teams come together to build the systems and machines that will define the next century. Let’s bring on the future, faster. 👉 Sign up for a free demo at https://integrate.co and discover the future of multiplayer program management. #ProgramManagement #Innovation #FutureOfWork #Integrate #AcceleratingHumanity

Juggling a dozen apps to get one job done? That’s the Standard Model: a messy web of apps and tools that kinda work together (on a good day). Enter the Integrated Model: one sleek system (hi, Integrate 👋) that handles tasking, requirements, roadmapping, reporting, and customer interaction—all in one place. No more app-hopping, no more headaches. Simplify your workflow, and focus on what really matters: building the world’s most ambitious machines.

While we’re ringing in 2025, Mars just kicked off its 38th year on November 12, 2024—celebrated with a new orbit around the Sun. The Martian calendar began in 1955, and a Martian year is nothing like ours. 🌍 A year on Mars lasts 687 Earth days—almost twice as long as ours. That means you’d celebrate your birthday far less often. ⏳ Its days, or 'sols,' are slightly longer at 24 hours and 39 minutes. Just enough extra time to finish your space tasks and squeeze in one more episode. 🍂 Mars has seasons too, but thanks to its elliptical orbit, they’re uneven. Some are long and drawn out, others are a bit shorter. The weather, though? Not exactly celebration-friendly. 💨 Dust storms kick up during the second half of the year—like confetti, but less fun and a lot messier. ❄️ Temperatures? Let’s just say layering is essential. Daytime highs in summer hit 0°C, but nights plunge to -60°C, and winter nights can drop to -110°C. If you were ringing in a Martian New Year, what would your resolution be? Ours? Keep designing tools and solutions for the world’s most ambitious machines—on Earth and beyond.

Picture this: Your most talented program manager sits at their desk, surrounded by three monitors displaying internal-only project management software that costs more than your first car. Instead of driving innovation or tackling strategic challenges, they’re copying and pasting dates from supplier emails into yet another status update. This isn’t just their morning — it’s their entire day. And it’s costing you more than you think. Read our full blog below.
