230802 -
230803 - A new field has been added to the ASB process, ref SDS 0 HX7U, that
230804 - helps boil down the description to a brief explanation.  Woody
230805 - provided some examples to illustrate the new procedure.  Submitted a
230806 - response to Gary two ideas for a brief description based on Woody's
230807 - suggestion to focus on SDS unique features. ref SDS 0 XZ4N  Sent a
230808 - copy to Woody for comments, per his letter today. ref SDS 0 2U7Y  Gary
230809 - and Gil can refine.  Later in the afternoon, Woody responded with a
230810 - brief description of SDS, ref SDS 0 EE5N, based on a notion of
230811 - "project memory," which he proposed previously on 041013. ref SDS 0

231201 - ASB New Field Brief Description on SDS Organizational Memory
231202 -
231203 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary saying...
231204 -
231205 -    1.  We now need a "short description" for the ASB. See [Woody's]
231206 -        message below.
231208 -  ..
231209 - Used the new format feature to analyse Woody's letter; seems to work
231210 - well.  Need feedback from Gary on his experience, per changes on
231211 - 041007. ref SDS 7 0001

231280 - Follow up ref SDS 8 W146, ref SDS 6 0000.
231281 -
231282 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Gary and linked to this record for
231283 - examples of possible brief descriptions of SDS.  Copies to Gil and to
231284 - Woody for comment, if time permits.
231286 -  ..
231287 - We need to modify work on 040720 preparing the ASB, related to the
231288 - description field. ref SDS 4 QL7N  This work also relates to the
231289 - Standards Declaration. ref SDS 4 PR5X
231291 -  ..
231292 - On 041013 Woody suggested focusing the ASB on SDS support for granular
231293 - addressability and precision retrieval. ref SDS 8 W146
231295 -  ..
231296 - Therefore consider a Brief Description....
231298 -         ..
231299 -    1.  SDS supports "organizational memory" for daily work history,
231300 -        analysis, planning, and collaboration to get things done
231301 -        quickly and accurately in meetings, calls, and documents using
231302 -        granular addressability, and precision retrieval based on
231303 -        context.
231305 -  ..
231306 - Some folks don't use a formal "work history" to plan the work, relying
231307 - mostly on personal memory, but it is important to correlate
231308 - "organizational memory" with work history, experience, knowledge,
231309 - etc., per POIMS theory management. ref OF 3 1X6G
231311 -  ..
231312 - Another shot is to forget "org memory" and summarize in terms people
231313 - commonly use....
231315 -         ..
231316 -    2.  SDS automatically adds granular addressability with explicit
231317 -        links for an audit trail of accurate communication; precision
231318 -        retrieval to find critical details complements cost and
231319 -        schedule metrics for command and control of daily work.
231321 -  ..
231322 - Still not sure if anyone would get the "big picture" from either of
231323 - these descriptions, but if we can get usage, then experience will
231324 - bring awareness.  Gary and Gil can refine.
231326 -  ..
231327 - Would be great if Woody has time to comment, per his letter today
231328 - offering to provide guidance. ref SDS 0 2U7Y

231702 -
231703 - Follow up ref SDS 8 WM49.
231704 -
231705 - Received ref DRT 3 0001 from Woody responding to the letter submitted
231706 - earlier today, ref DIT 1 0001, with a copy to Gil and to Woody with
231707 - ideas for a brief description of SDS, per above. ref SDS 0 E29H
231709 -  ..
231710 - Woody says...
231711 -
231712 -    1.  Actually, this was one of the ASBs I did as an example.  This
231713 -        is what I entered based on my conversation with Gary:
231714 -
231715 -            "Project memory tool with granular indexing and multiple,
231716 -            user-defined access paths." ref DRT 3 0001
231718 -         ..
231719 -    2.  Feel free to edit it as you see fit. ref DRT 3 4N6G
231721 -  ..
231722 - This is a good start to describe SDS based on Woody's objective to
231723 - distinguish "organizational memory" from "corporate memory," reported
231724 - on 041013. ref SDS 8 WM49  Woody's brief description answers pending
231725 - action item on 041013. ref SDS 8 W24H
231726 -
231727 -     [On 041101 CAC rejects SDS for "Product Statement of Direction"
231728 -     with limited distribution, refers SDS to EEPC KM subgroup for
231729 -     companywide standard.  Woody does not plan to oppose this
231730 -     position. ref SDS 14 CC82
231732 -  ..
231733 - Research at that time on 041013 found only one instance on the
231734 - Internet of "project memory," ref SDS 8 WM58, suggesting this phrase
231735 - may not be in common use.  If "project memory" is a defined term of
231736 - art at Aerospace company we should check the record on usage.  Other generic
231737 - terms might be...
231738 -
231739 -        project history....................... POIMS, ref OF 7 PR7G
231740 -        comprehensive work history............ POIMS, ref OF 7 PR7G

231746 - Granular Addressability and Indexing for Better Precision
231747 - Brief Description Based on Woody's Example Citing SDS Features
231748 -
231749 - The next day submitted ref DIT 2 0001 to Gary with copy to Gil and to
231750 - Woody, showing additional approaches that might be considered...
231751 -
231752 -           [On 041023 Woody requests follow up Gil on important
231753 -           matters. ref SDS 11 0001
231754 -
231755 -    1.  Project memory with granular addressability builds an audit
231756 -        trail of communication; granular indexing with multiple access
231757 -        paths enable precision retrieval for analysis, planning, and
231758 -        command and control of daily work.
231760 -  ..
231761 - Actually, since "organizational memory" is used throughout the ASB,
231762 - and since this can be clarified to include "project memory," "project
231763 - history," and "daily working information," ref SDS 0 JQ4T, we can
231764 - summarize by omitting this phrase, and begin the description with SDS
231765 - unique features.  Similarly, since "audit trail" implies accuracy, we
231766 - can save space by dropping this modifier.  Additional brief
231767 - descriptions include...
231769 -         ..
231770 -    2.  Granular addressability builds an audit trail of communication
231771 -        in meetings, calls, documents; granular indexing with multiple
231772 -        access paths enable precision retrieval for analysis, planning,
231773 -        and command and control of daily work.
231775 -  ..
231776 - Provide association with WBS that is familiar to project people...
231778 -         ..
231779 -    3.  Granular addressability builds an audit trail of communication
231780 -        with granular indexing and multiple access paths using WBS
231781 -        accounts for precision retrieval, analysis, planning, and
231782 -        command and control of work.
231784 -  ..
231785 - Add explicit links as a powerful feature, and clairify support for
231786 - meetings, calls, documents, and collaboration that are all common to
231787 - busy people on the job...
231789 -         ..
231790 -    4.  Granular addressability and indexing, with explicit links,
231791 -        build an audit trail of communication in meetings, calls, and
231792 -        documents; multiple user-defined access paths enable precision
231793 -        retrieval, analysis, planning, and collaboration.
231794 -
231795 -            [On 041025 Gary called and we adopted this para 4 after
231796 -            making further revisions. ref SDS 12 TN5Q
231798 -             ..
231799 -            [On 041027 Collaboration Board has no interest in SDS.
231800 -            ref SDS 13 4T4K
231802 -  ..
231803 - We need then to modify the first para of the description in the record
231804 - on 040720, ref SDS 4 LO3N, to correlate "organizational memory" with
231805 - work history on projects, teams, and groups.
231806 -
231807 -        Schedule Diary System (SDS) supports organizational memory to
231808 -        track work history for projects, teams and groups using a
231809 -        process of plan, perform and report called variously the
231810 -        "scientific method," good management, ref OF 3 1X6G, or simply
231811 -        intelligence. ref OF 6 6649 .... A highly connected project
231812 -        memory supports planning, meetings, calls, and collaboration.

330915 -        a deliverable for this in the form of a report to the AIC
