I was lucky to attend and present at last week’s SharePoint Best Practices conference. I’m still new to the whole speaking "thing" અને, પ્રમાણિકપણે, I was a bit nervous for the first half while I sweated out waiting to speak myself. That sort of nervous feeling made it a little hard for me to pay attention to the presenters (હું તેમને અવગણવામાં નથી). ને બદલે, હું હાજરી પર થોડી વધુ ધ્યાન કેન્દ્રિત કર્યું.
Conferences always set my mind racing and there was a lot take in at this one. This conference was excellent. I think it was unusual in several ways. It wasn’t a heavy developer conference. There were certainly dev parts to it, પરંતુ હું તે ઓછામાં ઓછો હતો 60% બિન-dev મુદ્દાઓ પર ધ્યાન કેન્દ્રિત કર્યું, maybe as high as 80%. I think that speaks to the evolving nature of the SharePoint market. Companies are implementing SharePoint in a variety of ways and they are looking for guidance on how to do it right. And not just guidance on how to create features/solutions (જે હવે દ્વારા, ખૂબ જ સારી રીતે સ્થાપિત કરવામાં આવી છે).
I believe the conference was tremendously valuable to most everyone that attended and I know that the organizers plan to do the conference again early next year.
જણાવ્યું હતું કે એવું, I believe there was a missed opportunity which I hope the next conference addresses. I say it’s a missed opportunity, but that’s not a bad thing. Discovering a community need is in and of itself a good thing. The conference discussed a number of best practices in a variety of areas such as governance, તાલીમ, જરૂરીયાતો ભેગી, શોધ, વિકાસ, માહિતી આર્કીટેક્ચર, વગેરે. I think that the missed opportunity has to do with the "green field" ધારણાઓ રહેલા શ્રેષ્ઠ પ્રયાસો ઘણા.
અમે લીલા ક્ષેત્ર વિશે વાત, we mean that SharePoint hasn’t gone into production and we’re starting with a clean slate. This is ideal because you can start straight away using best practices for defining and managing governance, માહિતી આર્કીટેક્ચર, વગેરે. તેમ છતાં … તમે છો ત્યારે શું હજાર ઘણા વપરાશકર્તાઓ સાથે ઉત્પાદન પહેલેથી જ થાય છે (or 10’s of thousands) અને તમે શરૂઆતમાં શ્રેષ્ઠ પ્રયાસો અનુસરણ કર્યું ન હતું? I’ve seen companies with … ahem … એક ખૂબ જ વિચિત્ર information architecture baked into their environment. I don’t think that this conference provided much guidance for organizations with that kind of problem (અને હું માત્ર IA અર્થ નથી, પરંતુ શાસન, શોધ, અન્ય ઘણા વિસ્તારોમાં). અલબત્ત, તમે એક સમસ્યા છે જાણીને ઉકેલ એક મોટી ભાગ છે અને તે ખૂબ જ મૂલ્યવાન છે.
I think that the online SharePoint community hasn’t done much to address this either. I know I have not. It’s a very hard problem to solve at many levels. Technically it’s hard. Budget-wise it’s hard. Culturally, it’s hard. તેમ છતાં, it’s probably a bigger real world problem than most. Since the conference ended, I’ve been thinking about these kinds of problems and how one would solve them. There has to be a better answer than, "uninstall and reinstall" અને સમુદાય પર વડા સામનો કરવાની જરૂર છે.
I think that this a great opportunity for the blogging community and experienced thought leaders to lay out some guidance on how to repair their environments. I think there’s a small but non-zero risk that SharePoint could end up with a bad and enduring reputation as a result of poorly architected implementations that fail due to poor governance, IA, વગેરે.
