FY11 Goals (Short-term, and ongoing)

Lisa's questions:

  • Group should agree if we are DEFINITELY going to do each project. If not, can be removed?
  • Marketing - are these projects that the Marketing group is doing, or is UX specifically involved? Maybe our UX goal should be specifically how UX staff will be involved?
  • Same with Space - will UX specifically be responsible for #2, or is that the Public Spaces UX group? If it's the latter, is it our goal?
  • We can put back the bullets that were on the previous version of this. Or we can list steps that we're taking for each project, or whatever.
