0707 - Summary/Objective

070801 - Followed up work at ref SDS 10 line 34, ref SDS 9 line 27, r
070802 - line 26, ref SDS 6 line 42.

0711 - Analysis
0712 -
071201 - Received ref OF 1 line 30 from Bill via internet.
071202 -
071203 - Initially, it appears we have not applied the PMBOK in the WBS, per
071204 - goal set at ref SDS 3 line 125.  Is it not practical, convenient or
071205 - worthwhile?  What can we say about this objective of the PMI event
071206 - program goal to investigate the viability of the PMBOK to organize,
071207 - plan and manage a project?
071208 -
071209 - Maybe Ahmet can show us how to do this, or what he had in mind?
071210 -
071211 -
071212 - We may need a column like we used on CDWR and Gold Hill at PG&E for
071213 - the WBS, instead of relying on the task numbers.  These numbers will
071214 - change a lot as we get further into the scheduling/planning operation.
071215 -
071216 - Therefore, we likely need a task to develop the initial WBS/Schedule
071217 - and the Subject Index.
071218 -
071219 -
071220 - Facilitator, Project Launch
071221 -
071222 - There is nothing apparent in the schedule for developing these project
071223 - management methods, per, ref SDS 5 line 175.
071224 -
071225 -
071226 - Sponsor support
071227 -
071228 - Could not find any notes that explain what this is, who is doing it
071229 - and what has been done, considered?
071230 -
071231 -
071232 -
071233 - Attendee Conference Handout Package
071234 -
071235 - Does this include the binders for attendees, or will these be picked
071236 - up at conference registration?   If binders are separate, then we need
071237 - a task, and it needs to be controlled by speakers preparation of
071238 - papers, and that needs to be done in time for inclusion of the
071239 - binders.
071240 -
071241 - Someone needs to work on designing the organization of the binders to
071242 - facilitate taking manual notes relative to the agendas, so we lead by
071243 - example in illustrating how we can use the "agenda" of an event to
071244 - organize the information we want to remember about it.
071245 -
071246 -
071247 -
071248 - Conference
071249 -
071250 - We may want to do a separate CPM on the conference to show the flow
071251 - of the speakers, breaks and so on, to see the time allocated for
071252 - everything.
071253 -
071254 - We could use the packets for the annual conference as a prototype. If
071255 - we need a sample could call Leslie Greensmith who developed the
071256 - schedule and other stuff for Vancouver and New Orleans, ref SDS 1 line
071257 - 45.
071258 -
071259 -
071260 - Board Approval, NCC
071261 -
071262 - There is no apparent task for the local PMI NCC Board to approve
071263 - anything.  We have been working at this for 6 months.  Did the Board
071264 - approve the Feb event.  If they did not, does this say anything about
071265 - "metrics."  If they did, does it say anything about the Board?   Since
071266 - we need speaker fee payments, should we have a task for this?
071267 -
071268 -
071269 - Board Involvement
071270 -
071271 - We need to be proactive in suggesting a scope for Board involvement
071272 - that is consistent with the dignity of their office, yet does not take
071273 - up valuable time needed for the planned speakers.  We need to show
071274 - some time at the Conference for this.
071275 -
071276 -
071277 - Obtain Speakers
071278 -
071279 - Do we need some detail on this?
071280 -
071281 -    Who needs to coordinate with whom.  When do speaking engagements
071282 -    need to go out.  When are outlines and final papers needed?
071283 -
071284 -    The letter from Morris shows we need to do some stuff, ref SDS 11
071285 -    line 125.
071286 -
071287 -    We have to take action on Bill Walsh, and the other speakers.
071288 -
071289 -
071290 - I am thinking of Roger Bush as an overall MC to introduce various
071291 - speakers.  He needs to be interviewed.
071292 -
071293 - Do need a task to develop some small Asilomar placks or other
071294 - parchments that commemorate for the speaker their contribution?
071295 -
071296 - Do we need a task to have a special reception of some kind for the
071297 - speakers to honor them.  This may be a bit much.
071298 -
071299 -
071300 - Conference Evaluation
071301 -
071302 - Maybe we need this task to feed a dinner meeting review presentation
071303 - that provides feed back on results from attendees.
071304 -
071305 -
071306 - Project Review
071307 -
071308 - Bill has activities for post project critique, per understandings at
071309 - ref SDS 2 line 515.
