1112 - Summary/Objective
1113 -
111301 - From my visit to Denis' office the other day, ref SDS 6 line
111302 - 142, I need to explain a little better what should be entered in SDS
111303 - records.
111304 -
111305 -    People seem to just say they did something in general without
111306 -    indicating what was accomplished, what remains to be done and when
111307 -    it is supposed to occur, see ref SDS 3 line 19, ref SDS 4 line 21,
111308 -    and ref SDS 5 line 20.
111309 -
111310 - Improved explanation of how to fill out an SDS record with respect of
111311 - what to write about, i.e. substantive content.  Began better
111312 - explanation of value of management data entry.
111313 -
111314 -    [See follow up paper for PMI NCC Asilomar Conference on Concurrent
111315 -    Discovery, ref SDS 7 line 286.]

111701 - Line 16 - Writing Things Twice, explained why writing in SDS
111702 - does not entail writing things twice.
111703 -
111704 -
111705 - Line 23 - Explained the content of the record, and that it is not
111706 - necessary to write everything down.
111707 -
111708 -
111709 - Line 44 - Explained how to capture the record when there is not enough
111710 - time, using others to help, making fragmentary notes.
111711 -
111712 -
111713 - It already has an example cited of how to fill out a record.

1121 -   ..
112101 - Line 20 - Began modifications to this help file that explain the
112102 - rationale for managers and executives to perform "data entry."  It
112103 - appears the existing language was aimed at supplementing other Help
112104 - files on how to accomplish cross referencing using the Subject Index.
112105 - I want this section to alert managers about personally doing the data
112106 - entry.
112107 -
112108 - Needs more work.
