Making Things Happen: Mastering Project Management

Hi, in addition to checking out if any of the suggested resources work extremely well for you, I'd like to suggest this book. It answered a lot of the questions about design process I had some ten years ago. (I am now involved in UX and product design) http://scottberkun.com/making-things-happen/ If you go briefly through it, you'll certainly find some sections useful for clearing things up with information design, capturing design goals, singling out tasks etc. It sparked my own interest in user experience and service design back then. To my opinion, after much thought and practice, UI design is very much a shell to everything that's preceeding it on the timeline. Try to cover UX as well as UI, capturing requirements, etc. It is also important to find a book, a blog or a course that is mesmerizing particularly to you, and easy to grasp with your specific background. Good luck! Alice

Making Things Happen; Unfortunately, I read this book when it was too late for me, but definitely something to read if you ever get into management. The politics section itself is worth the price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596517718
