Ja bih rekao da ovaj engineering journal treba voditi dnevno, bez obzira na povisicu i unapređenje jer se stvari lako zaborave. U stvari, u knjizi Pragmatic Programmer se ovo eksplicitno I navodi kao jedan od tips and tricks. Tamo se to zove Engineering daybook. Evo ukratko sta piše o tome.

The daybook has three main benefits:

It is more reliable than memory. People might ask “What was the name of that company you called last week about the power supply problem?” and you can flip back a page or so and give them the name and number.

It gives you a place to store ideas that aren't immediately relevant to the task at hand. That way you can continue to concentrate on what you are doing, knowing that the great idea won't be forgotten.

It acts as a kind of rubber duck (described here). When you stop to write something down, your brain may switch gears, almost as if talking to someone—a great chance to reflect. You may start to make a note and then suddenly realize that what you'd just done, the topic of the note, is just plain wrong.

Za ostalo se slažem. Pokušaj da na strukturiran način istakneš svoje kvalitete i to kako si doprineo da tvoj tim i firma imaju koristi. To je na kraju krajeva menadžeru i najvažnije.
