What is PDM?
The Avue Digital Services Position Management Module, NASA Position Description Management, (PDM)) automates many time-consuming steps in the classification process. Managers can create a document package that includes a position description, and an evaluation statement. Because the Position Management Module is accessible through an Internet browser, a Manager or HR Specialist can complete the classification process quickly and efficiently from anywhere.NASA Quick Reference Guide for PDM
