Louise,

The design members will get a room for some of tonight and the entire day tomorrow and work through to get it down on paper, but it will be a best estimate by the time they finish and not completely definative, as that can only really happen at the end of an elaboration/design phase....there is no way that they could commit to a design decision for these big-ticket items in such a short space of time without compromising the quality of those decisions.

I believe you can get a draft on you desk by the end of tomorrow, but can't guarantee that it can be reviewed in that time and signed, unless we acknowledge that this is an Inception Document and not an Elaboration document.  (An Inception document states intent to kick off the project, while an Elaboration document fleshes out the details and a design is produced).

The team are trying hard to accomodate this request and I hope you will understand if they don't quite make it by EOB Friday.

regards

Steve

PS: I'll be out of the office tomorrow at the hospital, but I can be reached on 713-598-0732  or by e-mail : steve@thestockfamily.com

I am expecting a signed document -  the Phase II document was not worthwhile.  Geof listed out the information/areas that he wanted to see included in it, so I asked for them to be included.  It sounds as though Geof and your guys need to sit down and work through it today or tomorrow.

Hi Louise,

I tried to call a moment ago, but unfortunately you were engaged in a meeting.

I wanted to let you know that the message from you below has caused some concern with my team, as they are struggling to see how they can accomplish this to your satisfaction by end of this week, and Geoff Storey himself was wondering how we could even get to Transport Valuation in ERMS in that time frame.

They are heading for a draft by the end of the week, but feel extremely uncomfortable about committing to timing and full scope untill they have had more time to work through  it.

Could you please let me know if you are expecting a signed document at the end of this week?......or can I let them issue a draft to be firmed up next week instead?

best regards

Steve

I'm a bit confused - I think that the current document distributed for circulation is too small.  I would suggest this be abandonned and a next draft produced which includes the following.

Single Deal entry revisions
Options reports
Transport Valuation in ERMS
EOL reporting tools (possible)

I would like to see Phase II include the items above and an Inception document re-issued this week.

Thanks

Louise

Incompatibility of TIBCO version 5.x and 6.x. The single point of deal entry is done using TIBCO 6.x. Some users are still using TIBCO 5.x. Upgrading to either TIBCO 6.x or Windows 2000 is needed.
