My Learning Goals for 2020

January 19, 2020 by Ashwin Leave a Comment

Learning Goals

For the last few years, I have a practice of setting annual learning goals. It helps me with two things. First, to focus on specific skills to develop and second, provides an objective way to measure my achievements.

I also find it useful to order goals by priority and have quarterly targets. This way I can savour my achievements on a periodic basis and adjust goals if needed.

Here’s my list for 2020.

Quarter 1 – Jan-Mar

  • Learn SRE basics and advanced topics
  • Complete Google Cloud DevOps Engineer certification
  • Complete my last quarter with Stanford LEAD certification

Quarter 2 – Apr-Jun

  • Learn Kubernetes advanced topics
  • Complete Kubernetes Admin certification
  • Take TOGAF training and complete certification

Quarter 3 – Jul-Sep

  • Learn other topics in Google Cloud
  • Complete Google Cloud Solution Architect certification
  • Learn IT Cybersecurity concepts (Coursera)

Quarter 4 – Oct-Dec

  • Learn AWS cloud topics
  • Complete AWS Solution Architect certification
  • Take Create Leadership (IDEOU) course

I am curious to know about your learning goals for this year.  Please share them as comments to this post.  All the best to achieve great heights and a great 2020!
