Sometimes creating a simple template to define scope, goals, team and communications plan for a project can set expectations for team members and stakeholders from the beginning.
I've been fortunate to have many great opportunities throughout my career. I've volunteered to learn a new tool or skill in order to fill gaps where needed. I have spent time in pure IT roles and spent some time in pure library science roles. I look for opportunities where my skills can make an impact on someone's daily duties. How can we tweak software or workflows so that we can innovate and grow our services?
