Jim, analyst-programmer on Multinational Project in GIS

Jim was one of the original members of the Multinational Project team and worked on the requirements study. He was one of the key programmers in phase I (00252) and wrote the reports (00374). Although Gordan regarded him as a very good programmer on the technical side of things (00251), he was out of his depth writing reinsurance (00265). Gordan had views on Jim (00377); he regarded him as a technical eccentric who could make things too difficult (01031) and did not see the wider picture (00359). David seemed to agree with this view (00326). However, Gordan regarded him as a team player (01031) and Jim had personal problems during phase I (01031).

Jim seemed to do a number of small jobs in phase II and III: he was the editor for the newsletter (00758) and involved in the data audit in September 1994 (00664). However, Jane decided to promote Jim to lead the minor enhancements team in her restructuring of the team despite Gordan's concerns (01104). In January 1995, Jim seemed to be doing well in his new role (01026).
