EXAMPLE

20 Hour project: Develop a PowerBI Dashboard to show training Metrics

1. Deconstruct the skill - essential components of the skill that you will need to acquire. Know exactly what you want to do with the skill and break it down into smaller pieces. Most of the skills we identified are really bundles of smaller skills. Identify the parts of the bundle that will really allow you to do what you want.

What I intend to learn:

Gathering business requirements

Connect to data sources

Clean, Load, and Transform Data

Creating dashboard tiles in Power BI

2. Learn Just Enough to Self-Correct - mechanism you will employ to test your knowledge. Being able to identify and fix mistakes is a critical assessment toll when trying to learn something new. Getting better in the process as you learn how to do things better. Get 3-5 resources to use as a reference for whatever you are trying to learn.

3. Remove barriers to practice - things that can get in the way of being successful. Identify your time wasters and exercise will power and help from your accountability partner to eliminate them (social media, Netflix, gaming, etc)

4. Practice at least 20 hours - time commitment on a regular basis to complete your practice.
