SUBJECTS
Chips Development Process
Usability Engineering

0805 - WBS Charts
0806 -
080601 - Morris said his crew preparing the Chips development process found the
080602 - CSM charts useful, ref SDS 2 line 76.  They will try to produce
080603 - something similar. Others on the team had located similar examples of
080604 - WBS charts.
080605 -
080606 -       [See follow up at ref SDS 8 line 156.]
080607 -
080608 - Morris feels "WBS" is not the correct term for what they are creating,
080609 - but for shorthand, I am using it here.  I guess his idea is that they
080610 - are also describing processes identified in the chart, so their effort
080611 - is more than creating a WBS.
080612 -
080613 - He said next week, the team leader is presenting the work product to
080614 - the President of the firm.  Morris has gotten buy-in from the
080615 - president on the effort.  I asked if the president has given Morris a
080616 - letter to that effect or whether it is just a conversation.  Morris
080617 - said the understanding is in discussion form.  I suggested he request
080618 - a letter, or send the president a memo confirming understandings on
080619 - what is being done and what result is expected.
080620 -
080621 - They have a CPM for the project and are about two weeks behind
080622 - schedule.
080623 -
080624 - I mentioned the idea of creating several template CPM charts, per ref
080625 - SDS 2 line 153.  Morris seemed to indicate he is planning to do this.
080626 -
080627 - They are going to Hawaii next week or the week after.
080628 -
080629 - He still needs a way to consistently implement their work process, per
080630 - our discussion about SDS at, ref SDS 2 line 216.
