When you've worked towards a goal in the past, what systems or tools have been helpful for you in accomplishing that goal? How could you adapt those same systems/tools to use while at Turing?
- Steve Calla - I use a variety of systems and/or tools depending on the end objective. Whether in a team or individual environment, my first objective is to understand the goal with as much clarity as possible. Secondarly, I attempt to understand the timeline and key deliverables. Subject to that macro level information/overview, I break down the goal into smaller pieces again either in a team or individual environment then I create tasks necessary to complete each piece or section. I typically attempt to complete the goal ahead of schedule to allow for review and improvement if possible as I providing for some space to re-think or review allows for improvement or the ability to exceed the goal.
