My Trial Journal

I started a trial journal this month based on info from the Jan 2011 "Clean Run".  It is still a work in progress, but I am already reaping benefits from consolidating information and standardizing how I keep track of documentation and data accumulated during trials.

The journal provides a method for keeping track of trial information such as:

• course maps
• run notes and observations
• scores
• strengths
• opportunities for improvement
• people I meet
• skills I want to work on / learn
• goals and objectives
• training plan outlines
• hotel information
• vendor information

 I am also using my journal for summarizing data:

• Pareto tracking of training issues
• Title Tracking
• Time Tracking (yps) for JWW and STD
