Day Two: SharePoint Governance - Beyond the Buzz Word
 SharePoint Governance is a buzzword, but why? Governance itself is not new. SharePoint, however, is a platform for delivering business solutions. As such, SharePoint shines a spotlight on everything that's good and bad about your business processes, project management, change management, information management policies, and IT service delivery. SharePoint forces organizations to realise that governance—from the business strategic to the technical level and everywhere in between—is critical.
In this comprehensive discussion of business and service governance, SharePoint MVP Dan Holme (AvePoint Chief SharePoint Evangelist) brings together elements of respected management, project and development frameworks, informed by his experience with and lessons learned from enterprises around the world. Dan identifies the critical factors for successful governance, including vision, roles & responsibilities, accountability, measurability, process, and iteration. You come away with messages you can use to understand and communicate the role of SharePoint to your organization, an invaluable framework with which to translate requirements to design, guidance for avoiding requirement gathering spin-cycles, and an understanding of the strategic, cultural and procedural components of a successful SharePoint implementation. |
