Excerpt from Time Allocation Among Three Technical Information Channels by R& D Engineers

Four government funded parallel research and development projects are examined to determine the manner in which engineers and scientists allocate their time, and the effect of this a location on the outcome of the projects. The use of matched pairs of projects allows the relative evaluation of outcomes by technical monitors in the customer agencies.

The percent of total time spent in three categories of information gathering (outside consultation, staff consultation, and literature search) varies significantly over the life of a project. Higher rated teams are relatively stable in all phases of information gathering while lower rated teams initially spend far more time gathering information than they do in the later stages and fluctuate more throughout the project. Subsystems characterized by greater uncertainty receive a higher percent of information gathering time than subsystems where uncertainty is lower.
