Im a member of a Murder Board. Can you believe it?!!!!!! Im LOVING THIS! Im PERFECT FOR IT! lol :-D Definition below: A murder board, also known as a scrub-down,[1] is a committee of questioners set up to critically review a proposal and/or help someone prepare for a difficult oral examination. The term originated in the U.S. military, specifically from the U.S. Pentagon[2] but is also used in academic and government appointment contexts. NASA contends the murder board was created by Hans Mark, Director of NASA Ames from 1969 to 1977.[3] In highly-risk-adverse, technical endeavors where extreme efforts are taken to prevent mistakes (e.g. satellite operations), murder boards are used to critically and aggressively review, without constraint or pleasantries, a situations problem, assumptions, constraints, mitigations, and the proposed solution. The boards goal is to kill the well-prepared proposal on technical merit. Holding back even the least suspicion of a problem isnt tolerated. Such argumentative murder boards consist of many subject matter experts of the specific system under review and of all interfacing systems. In U.S. politics, murder boards are used in preparing candidates for debates and presidential appointees for Senate confirmation hearings.
