120804 - Office.   He indicated the report identifying "rework" as a source of
120805 - cost savings by expanding span of attention is an effective way to
120806 - explain Communication Metrics.  Bill indicated 6 - 12 subjects is
120807 - about the number in his meetings on the Sprint project.  He has
120808 - submitted the report to his boss, but so far has not gotten any
120809 - feedback on getting it to Gordon Smith.  I called Steve Buck who

121214 - Has Bill considered the cost savings analysis of Communication Metrics
121215 - sent separately for peer review, ref SDS 20 line 173, also supports
