131502 -

131504 - Program and discuss where he might fit in.
131505 -
131506 - Frank asked if I have a copy of ISO 10000?  I reminded him that the
131507 - Raychem people who cited it at the PMI event, said it is not yet
131508 - published, ref SDS 6 line 159, but that it was developed in
131509 - collaboration with PMI's PMBOK.
131510 -
131511 -         [See follow up at ref SDS 10 line 73.]
131512 -
131513 -      Comment
131514 -
131515 -      The resulting work in this record offers information on the
131516 -      relationship between TQM, Quality, Re-engineering management.
131517 -
131518 -
131519 - I offered to submit a copy of the yet to be released PMBOK.
131520 - Frank said that would be helpful.
131521 -
131522 -
131523 -
1316 -
1317 -
1318 - 1059 called Doug Ballon at Raychem       415 361 5478
1319 -
131901 - Left message for Doug following up his remarks on ISO 10000 at ref SDS
131902 - 6 line 159.  Asked him to let me know how we can get a copy.
131903 -
131904 -
1320 -
1321 -
1322 - 1438 called Doug back
1323 -
132301 - I explained Frank's interest in getting a copy of ISO 10006 following
132302 - John Kahl's explanation at the PMI Panel discussion on Tuesday,
132303 -
132304 - Doug said they have a copy of ISO 10006 (which evidently is the
132305 - correct section for project management standards).
132306 -
132307 -
132308 - Communication Theme Support
132309 -
132310 - I explained PMI's Event Program to carefully consider Communications
132311 - ref SDS 3 line 238, and the impact on other project management issues:
132312 - time, cost, quality, scope, risk, and so on.  John and Doug feel this
132313 - is a good subject because communications is about 90% of a Project
132314 - Managers work.  They feel that if communication fails, nothing else
132315 - can work.
132316 -
132317 - Raychem Case Study Presentation
132318 -
132319 - I suggested the idea of Raychem presenting its project honored as
132320 - "Project of the Year" at ref SDS 1 line 140.  This could be a case
132321 - study of what constitutes sound management communication, ref SDS 4
132322 - line 297, including lessons learned which might contribute to
132323 - improvements in the PMBOK, ref SDS 2 line 132.
132324 -
132325 - Doug indicated Raychem might be interested in supporting this
132326 - objective.  He asked John Kahl to join our discussion.  He explained
132327 - the idea to John.
132328 -
132329 -
132330 - ISO 10006 & PMBOK
132331 -
132332 - I asked if the ISO 10006 standard which John recommended at the PMI
132333 - Panel discussion, ref SDS 6 line 186, correlates well with the PMBOK,
132334 - as might be expected, if there has been collabortion/coordination
132335 - between the respective groups working on these standards, as expressed
132336 - by Cathy Tonne, ref SDS 6 line 190.
132337 -
132338 - John said there is strong correlation on subjects and recommended
132339 - guidance to manage projects, between the PMBOK and ISO 10006.
132340 -
132341 -     [See follow up on this point at ref SDS 11 line 79.]
132342 -
132343 - He cited a major difference is that IS0 10006 does not have a separate
132344 - section on quality, whereas PMBOK chapter 8 of the Exposure Draft -
132345 - August 1994, is on "Quality."  Since ISO 10006 is a quality standard,
132346 - it would be redundant to have a section on quality.
132347 -
132348 -     [See follow up on this point at ref SDS 11 line 52.]
132349 -
132350 -
132351 - ISO 10006 on Communications
132352 -
132353 - John read a portion dealing with Communications. It appears to support
132354 - PMBOK areas in Chapter 10, in calling for developing lines of
132355 - communication between various organizational structures.
132356 -
132357 -
132358 - Meeting to Develop Presentation Scope/Ideas
132359 -
132360 - We decided to meet next Wednesday 1130 at their office to demonstrate
132361 - communication metrics as a base to formulate presentation ideas on
132362 - Raychem's communication methods on its project.
132363 -
132364 -     Their office is at 165 Jefferson, a block past Constitution where
132365 -     there main office is located.
132366 -
132367 - John said they have video overhead equipment we can use to view the
132368 - communication metrics ideas.
132369 -
132370 - Prepared ref DIT 1 line 30 confirming these understandings.
