After getting one hurdle out of the way and heaving a sigh of relief… I am faced with another, much larger mountain to scale! What next? How do I start?  Where do I begin? While browsing around, I happened to stumble upon this blog on creativity and innovation. It seemed to be addressed to me ;)

Here’s what it says in a nutshell…

  • Create space for yourself
  • Allow time for ‘play’ or to make mistakes
  • Adopt simple techniques
  • Allow interaction between yourself and your colleagues for a possible knowledge sharing session.

Here’s the link to the article

A CUA™ at long last! March 24, 2007

After several months of preperation and a whole lot of anxiety, I managed to get through the Certified Usability Analyst examination. I was elated and absolutely thrilled to bits.  Its humbling actually… since you now get to see that much more is going to be expected of you. Its actually the beginning of a long, long journey. But this one am going to thoroughly enjoy.

For anyone who is interested in the course structure and the fee details, I suggest you visit the human factors site and take a look at all the details.

As far as personal experience goes, I cant say it better than rahul mainkar and prashant poladia.
