090803 - Mark presented Communication Metrics to PeopleSoft's project manager,
090804 - Nick, and Nick indicates this level of support is not needed yet. Nick
090805 - wants to try having PeopleSoft's consultant take a bigger role in
090806 - coordinating between Turner and the architect.  Advised of new report
090807 - from the government on cost savings from Communication Metrics.

0911 - Discussion
0912 -
091201 - Mark has discussed Communication Metrics with Nick, who is
091202 - PeopleSoft's primary contact with Turner.  Nick has indicated to Mark
091203 - that PeopleSoft does not believe the problem with the architect is
091204 - large enough to warrant additional support from Communication Metrics.
091205 -
091206 - Mark indicated that Nick has indicated that PeopleSoft's consultant,
091207 - called a "Project Developer," will take a greater role in coordinating
091208 - with the architect.
091209 - ..
091210 - Of course Nick's solution of elevating the role of PeopleSoft's
091211 - consultant sharply increases the risk to Turner of incurring loss, for
091212 - the reasons discussed on 970919. ref SDS 2 7003
091213 - ..
091214 - Mark said he has not given up on using Communication Metrics.
091215 -
091216 - I explained the new report, ref DRP 2 0129, issued by the U.S. Army
091217 - Corps of Engineers, ref SDS 6 2979, which shows substantial cost
091218 - savings from using Communication Metrics.  I indicated planning to
091219 - submit a copy to Steve Rule because he asked for a calculation of cost
091220 - savings as a predicate to cite Communication Metrics in Turner's
091221 - marketing program. ref SDS 1 7466
091222 -
091223 -      Delivered ref DIT 1 0000 copies for Steve and Dick to Turner's
091224 -      office this afternoon.
091225 -
091226 -      [Called Steve on 971020 about report of cost overruns on City
091227 -      Hall project. ref SDS 7 8855]
091228 -
091229 - I will submit a copy to Mark, which may be helpful in his discussions
091230 - with Nick.  Everyday communication problems arise on major endeavors,
091231 - like the PeopleSoft project, that Communication Metrics solves.  When
091232 - these scenarios occur, Mark can point out the cost that can be saved
091233 - by using Communication Metrics.
091234 -
091235 - I asked if it would be helpful to provide a copy to Mark's boss?
091236 -
091237 - Mark said this would be okay, and that his boss' name is Dick Dorais.
