This Schedule covers the services and deliverables to be provided by Carnegie
Group, Inc. for U S WEST Information Technologies Service Delivery in support of
the QUICK HIT TEAM. The work to be provided by CGI represents a new effort
between the parties.

1.2      OVERVIEW

U S WEST Information Technologies (IT) Service Delivery has created a team to
provide short timeframe turnaround on solutions delivery to their respective
clients (the "Quick Hit Team"). The U S WEST Immediate Solution Discovery Team
recommends solutions for the clients. The solutions recommended are small from a
time and resources perspective, but the end results are of value to the success
of the channels. The Quick Hit Team, which includes three (3) Carnegie Group
resources, will provide hourly consulting services to U S WEST Information
Technologies and will be working within the complete development process of
individual quick hit projects. It is intended that this will include solutions
review to coding and testing. A result of this approach will

PROJECT TITLE:  Quick Hit Team


The above tasks, schedules and deliverables were developed based on the
following assumptions.

         1.       The schedule is based on a project start date of November 24,
                  1997. Delays in this start date may impact the delivery date
                  of one or more Deliverables.

         2.       The work estimates are based on fixed dates provided by U S
                  WEST. CGI will continuously monitor the overall effort's
                  status and notify U S WEST of any issues or risk situations
                  which may impact one or more delivery dates.

         3.       CGI has timely access to U S WEST personnel (i.e. SMEs).

         4.       U S WEST to provide a sponsor and project manager to act as
                  the liaison between the U S WEST project team and the CGI
                  resource.

         5.       Weekly status reports and meetings to be held between the U S
                  WEST project manager and the CGI project manager to measure
                  progress against the workplan as mutually agreed upon by U S
                  WEST and CGI. Any known issues and risks are also discussed
                  and raised to the next level if not resolved.

         6.       U S WEST to provide facilities, computer equipment, software,
                  etc., as requested by CGI.

         7.       Any delays in dependent tasks (i.e. U S WEST tasks) may impact
                  the delivery date of one or more Deliverables. (Such dependent
                  tasks may likely be determined and documented during the early
                  phases of the project and jointly agreed upon between U S WEST
                  and CGI.)

         8.       Change requests to be submitted using the CGI change process
                  for analysis to provide estimates, costs, and impact on
                  current deliverables. Signed approval in compliance with RPP
                  1001 is required before implementation of any change requests.

2.3      DELIVERABLES

Deliverables will be determined during the early phases of the project and will
be completed jointly between U S WEST and CGI. [


                                      ].

A copy of the deliverables will be provided to the appropriate U S WEST
recipients. The master copy will contain a letter to be mutually signed by the
parties acknowledging delivery, receipt and acceptance of the deliverables.
Should CGI not receive the signed letter or a written list of items which are
not in compliance with the project specifications within five (5) business days
after delivery, then the Deliverables shall be deemed accepted.
