221805 - Doug proposes using the work of the DKR team meeting at SRI to set
221806 - Knowledge Management requirements and apply specific methods to gain
221807 - experience for learning how to improve productivity. ref DRT 2 2244
221808 -
221809 - This proposal aligns with priority set during the project launch

221813 - On 980307 Andy Grove, Chairman of Intel, calls for executives and
221814 - engineers to experiment in their work practice to discover better
221815 - methods. ref SDS 5 3416  However, most executives, like all of us, are
221816 - afraid to pilot test proposed improvements for more than 20 mintues,
221817 - due to lack of faith in their ability to assess added value that is
221818 - limited by common sense in the immediate horizon, discussed on 921205.
221819 - ref SDS 1 8493  On 990525 engineers and managers are driven by short
221820 - term needs to overlook opportunities to save time and money by adding
221821 - "intelligence" to management. ref SDS 6 0966
221822 -
221823 - The DKR project can become a valuable case study for discoverying how
221824 - to perform Knowledge Management that improves on conventional IT
221825 - practices and tools, per review of IBM's proposal on 980226.
221826 - ref SDS 4 2716  This is critical to success, based on Lee Iverson's
221827 - report on 000324 that other projects trying to produce KM are failing.

221830 - Pilot testing specific solutions is the only way to gain experience
221831 - for discovering what really improves productivity.  Experience with
221832 - new methods over sufficient time shows usefulness, time saved and
221833 - improved earnings.  On 991222 Doug's paper called for pilot testing.

221840 - Doug's plan for the SRI team to use the DKR project to learn
221841 - about Knowledge Management, per above, ref SDS 0 5972, reflects an
221842 - advantage of SDS development, cited by Morris on 000106, where the
221843 - developer does not create something, then move to create something
221844 - else, but rather uses the new development to refine the program.
221845 - ref SDS 8 8V4F  When the development team is constantly using the tool
221846 - being created, the focus and feedback from daily experience improves
221847 - the quality of understanding, and enhances the quality of the tool.
