Beginning of 2009
My Goals in 2009 Was...
There were specifically 5 things I really wanted to accomplish or at least improve upon. They were...
- Writing skills . ( I think I have improved slightly by default)
- Speech ( I had more presentation opportunities, also I had chance to finish Presentation Zen in the beginning of the year)
- More real world practices with users - nope. not enough.
- Documentation skills - I still need to make sure that every work I produce need to be documented in a way that I can market my skills using the recorded document.
- Information Architecture - I have learned few tips here and there, yet, I need to finish learning Visio.
