431105 -
431106 - Gary was notified this morning that his assignment on the  combat project
431107 - has been changed.  He is moving from the Requirements group, which is
431108 - a current priority, per TEM on 030417, ref SDS 19 563K and ref SDS 19
431109 - 8KM5, to now supporting schedules and budgets, which is a much
431110 - narrower scope of work and has reduced visibility and collaboration
431111 - than the current assignment.  This means less opportunity for advance.
431112 - There is also an issue of potential clash with management style on
431113 - Schedules and Budgets, given lack of experience with this scope of
431114 - work in relation to Gary's comfort zone making progress in the
431115 - Requirements group.
431117 -  ..
431118 - Input from Requirements is needed to develop meaningful work product
431119 - for Schedules and Budgets; so, this work cannot really be accomplished
431120 - until the Requirements work is further along, which makes the change
431121 - in assignment today seem counterproductive.
431123 -  ..
431124 - Gary's sense is that his work representing the Requirements group in
431125 - meetings to coordinate with Schedule and Budgets, led tangentially to
431126 - support for action items, as a result of using SDS to report on staff
431127 - meetings, as shown in the record on 020508. ref SDS 21 PL6I  Since
431128 - then, this minimal exposure and Gary's extra effort has enabled
431129 - discovery through experience that created awareness among a few Aerospace company
431130 - staff that SDS action item support is helpful, reported a few days ago
431131 - on 030521. ref SDS 25 QX68  Today, Gary was told about a meeting
431132 - yesterday attended by his boss for Requirements, where the manager for
431133 - Schedules and Budgets requested that Gary be transferred to his group,
431134 - and this change was approved at the next level by Bruce.
431135 -
431136 -          [On 030524 research shows growing awareness about importance
431137 -          of contiual review to build shared meaning. ref SDS 27 KO9V
431139 -           ..
431140 -          [On 030527 Gary received validation that SDS record provides
431141 -          amazing support for organizational memory that improves
431142 -          understanding. ref SDS 28 0001
431144 -        ..
431145 -       Earlier on 030420 Gary was asked to prepare the record on a
431146 -       series of Technical Exchange Meetings (TEM) beginning on
431147 -       030415-17, because he has better command and control of the
431148 -       record using SDS. ref SDS 15 0001
431150 -        ..
431151 -       On 030506 increased demand for Com Metrics support role was
431152 -       anticipated based on growing complexity of  combat project.
431153 -       ref SDS 20 Q57I and ref SDS 20 K64X  On 030512 difficulty
431154 -       distributing SDS record via Internet was reviewed and yielded a
431155 -       record of prior success distributing printed documents and
431156 -       personal follow up, ref SDS 22 ES4L, citing Dave Packard's
431157 -       experience at HP using his practice of MBA, reported on 950608,
431158 -       ref SDS 2 4376, and subsequent experience with SDS and Com
431159 -       Metrics at USACE, reported on 970418. ref SDS 3 SL41
431161 -        ..
431162 -       Demand pulling the SDS "scribe" in many directions aligns with
431163 -       prior experience at DNRC, PG&E and USACE.  At one level, where
431164 -       people have to get things done, everyone wants help.  There is a
431165 -       limitless demand for SDS and Com Metrics because the people
431166 -       doing the work discover SDS is effective, shown in the report by
431167 -       USACE dated 970328, ref DRP 3 6172, and specifically by Herb
431168 -       Cheong citing benefit of personal briefings. ref DRP 3 JY49  At
431169 -       higher levels, where people, due to inexperience, are unaware
431170 -       SDS helps gets things done correctly, those folks are more
431171 -       afraid of accountability for not getting things done correctly,
431172 -       and so are dirven to cut off resources for organizational memory
431173 -       to work quickly and accurately on the grounds that this is
431174 -       unnecessary overkill, as reported on 890324, ref SDS 1 8R97, and
431175 -       later at USACE on 970624, meeting with the District Engineer.
431176 -       ref SDS 4 7388  It's another KM dilemma that is still ahead of
431177 -       us on combat.
431179 -  ..
431180 - Increasing support for Schedules and Budgets aligns with the record on
431181 - 030515 reporting a letter by the program director, Jerry McElwee, that
431182 - notified  combat personnel that new authority for a budget to fund  combat has
431183 - been approved. ref SDS 23 0001  Approval creates immediate pressure
431184 - for Aerospace company to come up with schedule and budget targets for approval
431185 - under C/SCSC.  Even though a schedule and budget depend on getting
431186 - requirements from users, per above, ref SDS 0 GF4J, the current effort
431187 - needs help to come up with something in advance of getting
431188 - requirements, because user agencies are being slow to respond.  This
431189 - means a best effort on schedule and budgets will be developed without
431190 - input on Requirements.
431192 -  ..
431193 - Gary plans to let the matter rest for a day or so, then attempt
431194 - constructive review with management on how to accomplish support for
431195 - Schedules and Budget, while maintaining Gary's prior assignment in
431196 - Requirements.  Off-hand, if he is the representative for Requirements
431197 - in Schedule and Budgets, then he can continue to provide the same
431198 - level of support that led to this change, and this would benefit both
431199 - Requirements and Schedule and Budget, since these are closely related
431200 - functions.

431603 - He indicated that he has been re-assigned to continue supporting part
431604 - of architecture, and has was asked by the manager of that group to
431605 - develop agenda's and produce a record of weeking progress meetings.
431607 -  ..
431608 - Would like to get an org chart with some explanation to clarify these
431609 - various groups.  For example, Gary seemed to indicate this afternoon
431610 - that there is no specific group working on Schedules and Budgets,
431611 - rather this is just an assemblage, or working group drawn from the
431612 - existing structure.
