This Week's Goals



My Goals for this week (January 15-21) are as follows:

Bottom line is that I need to catch up with the pace of my data collection/cleanup/analysis and a little bit on my writing. Thus, the goals are broken down into those steps, along with a few 'other' items.

Data Collection -
1. Conduct 3 interviews by the end of the week (2 are scheduled)
2. Try to make contact with some of the newly released executives of Site 2 (JBoss) - and schedule a few new interviews if possible
3. Send 8-9 more interviews to SW, including the new interviews. The first 5 should go out on Monday, not including 1 additional one for CF (if she has made progress on the other one)

Data Cleanup -
4. Correct the transcriptions on 2 interviews (e.g. Richard 1, Richard 2) - I may want to wait on this until finishing the current batch of analysis below

Data Analysis -
5. Hand-code 3 more interviews
6. Enter hand-codes for 5 interviews into Atlas

Writing
-
7. Write summaries for (at least) 5 interviews
8. Write up more notes on Explanatory Case Analysis (from Yin, Maxwell, Michael Friedman 1974)

Other -
9. ISDSA Meeting on Tuesday (Agenda out by Monday night - meet with Renee on Monday)
10. PAM questionnaire complete by Wednesday night
11. Conversation with Christina, Marlene re:post data on infusion pump survey (and what is the value for me at this point??)
This will require a heavy, heavy week of work, but I'm just the man for the job. Noone else will do it for me. Now let's compare this week's progress by next Sunday night.
