1907 - Summary/Objective
1908 -
190801 - Follow up ref SDS 9 0000.
190802 -
190803 - We need a slightly different "Organization" subject.  This record
190804 - shows the options and effort involved in formulating a subject index.
190806 -  ..
190807 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Bill, via PG&E email system, explaining
190808 - ideas, and asking for assistance identifying CDWR organizational
190809 - elements.  Created task in Bill's SDS for this work.

191201 - Subject Index for Context Management PG&E and CDWR Utililty Project
191202 -
191203 - In addition to PG&E, subjects for this project should include the
191204 - organization structure for CDWR, and other main organizations which
191205 - may be involved, including major vendors.
191207 -  ..
191208 - Organizing relational and hierarchial associations in the subject
191209 - index takes time to create accounts that fit the work to be performed,
191210 - and the organizations involved, as reported on 890523. ref SDS 1 G14K
191211 - This increases cognitive overhead on complex projects.  The CDWR
191212 - project needs organization charts, WBS, budgets, and schedules.  The
191213 - SDS subject index makes these traditional investments productive by
191214 - making communication effective.  Review of the Byte article on 910418
191215 - indicates that managing context for working accurately and quickly is
191216 - a lot of hard work without SDS. ref SDS 3 5584  Earlier, on 900303
191217 - review of cognitive science explains why people pay a price for
191218 - failing to perform context management, ref SDS 2 4456, which improves
191219 - innate faculties for organizing subjects and finding details.

191222 -    [On 970116 Morris asks about fractionalized subjects managing
191223 -    complexity with SDS organic structure of context. ref SDS 10
191224 -    1732
191226 -     ..
191227 -    [On 000221 research for a Colloquium at Stanford on knowledge
191228 -    management found that organizing the work with subject indexing is
191229 -    a Pandora's Box of complexity. ref SDS 11 7455
191231 -     ..
191232 -    [On 000307 research sponsored by SRI for ad hoc team developing new
191233 -    technology found that knowledge management is a lot of hard work
191234 -    with conventional tools and practices. ref SDS 12 5182
191236 -  ..
191237 - Organizational relationships complement hierarchial structures from
191238 - the WBS, the budget, schedule, and various contracts, plans, and
191239 - specifictions, which all provide hiearchial organic structures for
191240 - organizing the record of work based on contextual frames that are
191241 - meaningful to each organization and the staff.
191243 -  ..
191244 - Lines of communication flow through organizational structure where the
191245 - record can be captured on matters like Lorri Brown indicating she was
191246 - going to step down as project manager for CDWR on the PG&E contract.
191247 - ref SDS 6 0001  Later this position was rescinded, but we need a way
191248 - to track changes in management that impact PG&E's ability to get
191249 - things done.  Additionally, a lot of different PG&E people in various
191250 - departments are coordinating directly with CDWR, rather than through
191251 - the project manager, Bill, so the record of communications and results
191252 - in relation to commitments and requirements needs to be captured and
191253 - organized.
191255 -  ..
191256 - Initially, there are four (4) main organizations...
191257 -
191258 -          PG&E
191259 -          CDWR
191260 -          FERC
191261 -          EPA
191263 -  ..
191264 - There may, also, have been some discussions with FAA, but this is not
191265 - clear in the record so far.
191267 -  ..
191268 - Tried to break out PG&E a little differently to reflect the matrix
191269 - management organizational structure.  There are really several views
191270 - from the project perspective of the PG&E organization.
191271 -
191272 -       The primary "organization" is the Project, so all of the
191273 -       elements created with Bill on 940824, ref SDS 7 0001, are shown
191274 -       at the "Project Management" level.
191276 -        ..
191277 -       It may also be useful to have a way to define the relationship
191278 -       between other functional elements within PG&E outside the
191279 -       project, so the relationship between project staff and their
191280 -       "home" organization is clear.
191281 -
191283 -  ..
191284 - Transferred this SI for the CDWR project into Bill's SI, so ours are
191285 - the same.

200403 -
200404 - Created comparable organization structure for CDWR.
200405 -
200406 -       There is PM for the PG&E project; there is PM for the overall
200407 -       project, and then there are various functional elements within
200408 -       CDWR that interconnect with PG&E which need to be mapped in the
200409 -       subject index.
