130604 -
130605 - Follow up ref SDS 21 1169, ref SDS 20 8955.
130606 -
130607 - I initially gave Ivan the printed version of the notes for the
130608 - mechanical meeting held on 981021, which has the edits received from
130609 - Robert this morning. ref SDS 21 5145
130610 -
130611 - When Robert came into the office about 1500, he asked me to the notes
130612 - on his desk, which is a new work station that has been created for him
130613 - in the Project Office.
130614 -
130615 - The Project Office has been rearranged so there is space for Robert's
130616 - desk at the end of the room opposite from the Project Manager's desk.
130617 - The copy machine has been been moved to the walkway between KH and MW
130618 - staff workstations.
130619 -
130620 - This does not provide the "war room" Robert and the project need for
130621 - thorough planning and management, but it does improve on the initial
130622 - plan for Robert to use other people's desks while they are in
130623 - meetings, as discussed on 981020. ref SDS 5 5005
130624 - ..
130625 - The congestion problem due to inadequate space shown in the
130626 - record on 980929 has been compounded by these changes. ref SDS 1 4966
130627 -
130628 - To make room for Robert's desk, the conference table was replaced by a
130629 - smaller table that is inadequate for the meetings that have been held
130630 - up until now, with sometimes 6 - 8 people involved.  These meetings
130631 - now have to be held outside the project office and this means
130632 - coordination with staff during meetings is more difficult.  When
130633 - things are difficult, marginal clarifications are avoided and this
130634 - leads to error under Aristotle's rule about the least initial
130635 - deviation from the truth...
