070701 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0000, ref SDS 10 0000.
070702 -
070703 - Dave read the report and recognized a link between Communication
070704 - Metrics capability to improve upon management by "guess and gossip"
070705 - and a need he has for better management of a new project.  We set a
070706 - meeting for 970603 1000.

0710 - Discussion
0711 -
071101 - I asked if he received the Corps of Engineers' report on Communication
071102 - Metrics, ref DRP 5 0000, submitted per ref DIP 7 0000 on 970518? see
071103 - ref SDS 10 0000
071104 -
071105 - Dave said he received report and read it on the plane ride home
071106 - yesterday from a meeting in Japan.
071107 -
071108 - He asked if SDS runs under Windows 95?
071109 -
071110 -      I explained SDS is a DOS program that can be run under W95, which
071111 -      is the way I demonstrated it to him and Marcy last year.
071112 -
071113 - He asked if it supports the Internet.
071114 -
071115 -      I explained that all of my Internet communication is integrated
071116 -      into the SDS record.  We considered the brief comments in the
071117 -      Corps of Engineers' report on added value SDS brings to internet
071118 -      communication, ref DRP 5 line 560.
071119 -
071120 -    [On 971105 began project to improve Internet support. ref SDS 13
071121 -    1459]
071122 -
071123 - ..
071124 - Dave asked how we can test Communication Metrics at Intel?
071125 -
071126 - We considered doing a trial for a few months, similar to COE.  There
071127 - are several options:
071128 -
071129 -     1.  I can work directly for him as his Communication Manager under
071130 -         the scope of services in Appendix D of the report, ref OF 1
071131 -         line 88, per my 960903 letter, ref DIP 4 line 43, submitted at
071132 -         ref SDS 4 line 69.
071133 -
071134 -     2.  I can support a capital project for Intel, also per my 960903
071135 -         letter to Dave, ref DIP 4 line 45, similar to the Oakland
071136 -         Harbor project.  Dave can get feedback to determine
071137 -         feasibility for step 1.
071138 -
071139 -     3.  I can support a product development project at Intel.
071140 -
071141 - Dave noted that it would be best for me to support him, rather than he
071142 - approach another Intel manager and impose a method, since that causes
071143 - resentment and leads to failure.
071144 -
071145 - We considered briefly the job of the Communication Manager to perform
071146 - Communication Metrics in a way that is not disruptive nor threatening
071147 - to the team.
071148 -
071149 - Dave said he has major, complex project that may be conducive to using
071150 - SDS for Communication Metrics support.  Dave seemed to indicate the
071151 - project entails a world-wide, global effort.  He noted that managers
071152 - are using "guess and gossip" which he wants to improve with better
071153 - understanding and follow up, as noted in the Corps of Engineers'
071154 - report, ref DRP 5 line 179 and at ref DRP 5 line 791.
071155 -
071156 -    [On 970603 discussed how to accomplish this goal ref SDS 12 5803.]
071157 -
071158 - We set a meeting for Tuesday at 1000.

0718 - Analysis
0719 -
071901 - Key issues will be logistics.  I will want to co-locate to provide the
071902 - support needed.  Possibly with the Internet I can get stuff quickly
071903 - enough to remain in SF, but probably not.  The key to this thing is to
071904 - develop the integration of formal and internet writings, with informal
071905 - daily dialog, so I need to be there.
071906 -
071907 - Can we develop support to accomplish the work without me doing all of
071908 - it?
071909 -
071910 - Will need to configure Dave's computer, notebook, desktop, and key
071911 - project staff to have access to SDS, and will need to teach them to
071912 - use it.  Of course productivity will improve without this step, but
071913 - prospectively, they will want to feel involved.
