Working style
Personal working approach
- Organized and efficient (time management approach
inspired by GTD)
- Work independently or closely networked to local or
distributed team
as
required
- "Manage up" to help clarify requirements, strategies
and
issues
Key work values:
- Timely responsiveness to the needs of the team
- Communicate respectfully, thoroughly and skillfully
- Meet multiple project objectives efficiently and on
schedule
- Study and quickly learn new skills and approaches as
appropriate
- Balance the sometimes paradoxical requirements of
schedule,
budget, and "good practice" (design and documentation)
- Have fun doing all the above
"Everything should be as simple as
possible... but no simpler."
- A. Einstein
