Planning to use this acronym at wok. I was at SCARF - a Schizophrenic foundation. Somehow, the acronym appeals to me emotionally.
S - Scope management
C - Compass (like a map or guide for doing the work)
A - Analysis
R - ROTE (Run-Observe-Theorize-Edit, it's based on Kolb's experiential learning,kind of like iterative trial and error development methodology)
F - Feedback (communication with the client)
Of course, it's more of me fitting suitable words into an acronym I like. I was thinking of interchanging the words for C and A i.e. making "Case Analysis" for C and "Ask" for A but I think that an instruction of the tasks is needed before it can be broken down. It's a form of work-flow. It's quite logical as well as easy to practice...Get the scope defined using the project scope triangle, then use search engine or otherwise to get the instructions, then break it down into simple tasks for easier management, then do and refine each task till it becomes okay and then finally send the result for external client feedback and correction. A problem I was having is in keeping the acronym in mind since I was experiencing psychotic thoughts but with practice, using some tools to offload the mind's content etc., it becomes manageable.
I don't know. I keep trying different things. Many things I have written here has flopped for one reason or the other but I hope this sticks with me. This 'Scarf' acronym has been coming back to me perhaps because of the emotional appeal of having seen a lot of Schizophrenics at SCARF. I was also trying acronyms like Start, Smart and Sport. :D
Actually, the full acronym is Scarf CMS. The CMS comes from spiritual equivalents of Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi (like Concentration, Meditation and System?). But when I think about it, I think about it only as Scarf since CMS is the meditative process itself. By the way, I work in Content Management Systems which is abbreviated as CMS.
The funny thing is...I think about the most complex abstract things (from vanity?) but need to put in a big effort to do the simplest jobs. I have to tell myself not to think of myself as a hotshot but keep it simple, stupid.
