060803 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0000 which includes the record I prepared under
060804 - Denis' records at ref SDS 8 0000, which is also explained in my record
060805 - for the same event. ref SDS 9 0000 It uses his project number to show
060806 - how the record would look, if distributed to attendees.
060807 -
060808 - Submitting the same record on a disk, so Denis can upload to his
060809 - record for the meeting, then edit to reflect his own understandings.

0611 - Scope
0612 -
061201 - The meeting notes show how to:
061202 -
061203 -     •  Capture the record
061204 -     •  Link the record to objectives, i.e. the subject index.
061205 -     •  Link the record to "Controllable Action Items" in the Schedule
061206 -     •  Link the record to other events and documents, as necessary
061207 -     •  Protect client interests
061208 -
061209 -        Note:  See notices to Sedway that KH is waiting for information
061210 -               in order to proceed, ref SDS 8 line 40 and at ref SDS 8
061211 -               line 543.
061212 -
061213 -
061214 - I had to develop a preliminary "Subject Index" of the project, but
061215 - since it was done quickly and without consultation, it is probably
061216 - well off the mark, as are some of my impressions of the discussion.
061217 -
061218 -      Will provide the SI on disk, so Denis can upload to his system,
061219 -      and then edit.
061220 -
061221 -      Alternatively, he may wish to limit his SI to only the design
061222 -      tasks entailed by KH's project scope.
061223 -
061224 -
061225 - The SI and the detail of the meeting notes are more reflective of
061226 - Sedway's perspective, as apparent Team Leader, than KH's component
061227 - which is limited to design.
061228 -
061229 - These notes show how SDS can be used to manage a project.  The first
061230 - lift always takes a bit longer to set up.  But now it can be used to
061231 - guide future action, by just copying and/or citing the record.  This
061232 - saves time, insures things are not overlooked, and enables the PM to
061233 - develop consistency between all project activity:  meetings, calls,
061234 - discussions, correspondence, design, construction and commissioning.
061235 -
061236 - Subsequent project meetings become a lot easier to structure by just
061237 - going down the list, supplementing the record, adding new items and
061238 - deleting stuff that is no longer germaine.
061239 -
061240 -
0613 -
0614 -
0615 - Pending Issues
0616 -
061601 - Need names of organizations for Stephanie and Justin.
061602 -
061603 - Not clear from the notes whether the Visitor Center is a separate
061604 - unit, or is another name for the entire project.  Similarly, the
061605 - Interpretive Center could be the same as Multi-media Center, i.e.
061606 - just one element.
061607 -
061608 - Denis needs to correct my understandings on the substance of the
061609 - entire meeting.
061610 -
061611 -
0617 -
0618 -
0619 - Observation
0620 -
062001 - Future project meetings might be aided by using a large scale flow
062002 - diagram or other visuals to show relationships between issues and
062003 - focus the talent of team members.
062004 -
062005 -     "Impact Planning" discussed at ref SDS 1 line 344, may be an
062006 -     approach to consider.
062007 -
062008 - Warner's comment that things were difficult to follow, suggests this
062009 - would be helpful.  Amy's comment about the schedule ref SDS 8 line
062010 - 538, also points to an advantage of more depth on this matter.

0805 - Summary/Objective
0806 -
080601 - Prepared SDS update for Denis.  This basically only improves the use
080602 - of the mouse to enter time and posting time to Schedule so it is
080603 - always different from the record above.
