060703 - I asked Denis if he has reviewed the letter submitted on 981014
060704 - concerning project status, and progress on using Communication
060705 - Metrics. ref SDS 17 0000
060706 -
060707 - Denis advised he has reviewed the letter.  ref DIP 1 0000
060708 -
060709 - I explained my approach to request early feedback from the client in
060710 - order to avoid a huge effort that turns out to conflict with client
060711 - objectives, per meeting with USACE on 960920. ref SDS 1 0030  I drew
060712 - from the discussion this morning that Denis approves of the Welch
060713 - effort so far, and that the direction Welch has taken to support the
060714 - Moscone project is acceptable.
060715 -
060716 -     [On 981020 met with Denis on this. ref SDS 25 4080]

060721 -
060722 - I cited ideas, presented at the team meeting last Friday, on using

060730 - An example was submitted for information to Denis using the letter to
060731 - Ivan this morning. ref SDS 23 0000
060732 - ..
060733 - Denis indicated that the Communication Metrics effort is
060734 - supportive of the project, and that experimentation is needed to find
060735 - the most effective implementation for the design function.  He feels
060736 - the Moscone III project is a more complex challenge, because of
060737 - difficulties in Gensler's project management practices.

060747 - its own choosing for internal communication.
060748 -
060749 - I noted my sense that the issue is more complex, as developed in the
060750 - record on 981018.  While there is no contractural or other grounds for
060751 - Gensler's management to object to KH using its own resources to manage
060752 - its work, Gensler none-the-less objects. ref SDS 22 6046
060753 -
