Le Shembuj Shining udhëheqin rrugën për të rritur SharePoint adoptim

Im i parë "i pastër" BrightStarr blog entry u botua sot.  Këtu është një ngacmues:

Ka qenë një shumë të bisedës në Internets e vonë në temën e adoptimit SharePoint dhe sidomos mungesa e saj. Askush nuk dëshiron të shkojë në të gjitha probleme e hartimit të një fermë dhe infrastrukturën e sigurisë, marrin pjesë në punëtori, putting together a snazzy look and feel, working out a rock solid information architecture that can withstand the vicissitudes of company re-orgs and finally, a fanfare-filled rollout just to discover three months post go-live that less than 50% of the company employees are using SharePoint and most of them are using it to replace the old network file servers ("the S:\ drive").

No silver bullet (or single blog post) is going to solve that problem. Megjithatë, there are lot of things you can do to reduce the risk of an anemic SharePoint portal. One such technique is the "Shining Example Pattern."

I’d love to know about other SharePoint adoption strategies that you care to share.  If you do share, please leave as a comment on the BrightStarr blog.

SharePoint në tren

Sot, I was reading through Mike Walsh’s Teach Yourself SharePoint 2007 në 24 Hours dhe, tepër, lady në ulësen tjetër mua më tha, "We just implemented SharePoint in our company." It’s "incredible" because people just don’t talk to me on the train 🙂 It’s funny how SharePoint was the catalyst.

The other interesting aspect was that she didn’t realize that there were books on the product. Here comment was along the lines of "It must be pretty important if people are writing books about it." I think everyone reading my blog would agree with that.

Mësoni Rreth Përdoruesit Fundi Në www.EndUserSharePoint.com

Mark Miller gjatë në http://www.endusersharepoint.com has built, në përvojën time, the best end-user focused SharePoint site in the ‘sphere. In the last month, he has enlisted some of the premier end-user focused bloggers around to contribute to the "front page" mbi një bazë të rregullt, including but not limited to Paul Culmsee, Chris Quick, dhe Dessie Lunsford. He has others lined up and ready to contribute as their schedules allow.

I jumped on the chance to participate and my inaugural post is here. I’m writing a series on how to use SharePoint Designer to create first-class business workflow solutions. In keeping with the EUSP.com’s focus, those articles will always keep the End User front and center.

I personally tend to divide the SharePoint world into three broad groups: SharePoint consultants, full-time SharePoint staff developers and end users. When I write, I often ask myself, which of these groups might be interested in the subject? Most often, I end up writing for the first two (technical) groups, mainly because I’m a consultant myself; it’s always easier and more authentic to write about those things with which you’re most familiar on a personal level.

As I’ve noted before, the end user community is far, far larger than the technical community. EUSP.com is top-notch and I heartily recommend it to all three groups. The site’s laser focus is obviously valuable to end users. Megjithatë, we developers and consultants can only be better at our profession if we can understand and effectively respond to the needs of the end users we serve. I know I need all the help I can get 🙂 Check it out.

Që “Ndërmjetës” Ndjenjë; Vëzhgimet mbi SharePoint Consulting

Mjerisht, phase one of my last project has come to a close and the client has opted to move ahead by themselves on phase two. We did our job too well, si zakonisht 🙂 Tani jam mes projekteve, një kohë e veçantë për konsulentët e stafit si veten (në krahasim me të pavarurit të cilët normalisht duhet të jetojnë në frikën e përhershme të kohës në mes 🙂 ). We staff consultants fill this time in various ways: Duke punuar me shitjet e folklorit të shkruajnë propozime; plotësuar për dikë ose mbështetjen e deri të një personi për këtë apo atë punë i rastësishëm; studying; Blogim :). It’s hard to plan more than a few days in advance. At times like this, ndërsa unë kam një grimë të kohës në duart e mia, I like to reflect.

I’m almost always sad to leave a client’s campus for the last time. We consultants form a peculiar kind of relationship with our clients, unlike your typical co-worker relationship. There’s the money angle — everyone knows the consultant’s rate is double/triple or even more than the client staff. You’re a known temporary person. As a consultant, you’re a permanent outsider with a more or less known departure date. Ende, ju hani drekë me klientin, marrë ato jashtë për darkë dhe / ose për pije, blej biskota për ekipin, shkojnë më shkon kafe, japin / marrin kartat e pushime — all the kinds of things that co-workers do. On one hand, you’re the adult in the room. You’re an expert in the technology which puts you in a superior position. On the other hand, you’re a baby. On day zero, konsulentët nuk dinë emrat, the places or the client’s lingo. Most times, Konsulentët kurrë nuk mësojnë atë të gjithë.

Kur gjërat shkojnë mirë, you become very well integrated with the client’s project team. They treat you like a co-worker in one sense, and confidant in another. Since we don’t have a manager-style reporting relationship with the client, the project team often feels a little free to air their dirty laundry. They let their barriers down and can put the consultant into an awkward position, kurrë nuk e kuptuar se ata janë duke bërë atë.

Consultants often don’t get to implement phase two and that never gets easy for me. I think this is especially hard with SharePoint. Phase one of of your typical SharePoint project covers setup/configuration, qeverisje, taxonomy, lloje themelore përmbajtje, etj. dhe në shumë aspekte, arrin në një gjatë, extremely detailed discovery. That’s how I view my last project. We did all the basic stuff as well as execute some nice mini-POC’s by extending CQWP, zbatimin e lidhjeve QZHB për PeopleSoft, paraqiti një rrjedhë mjaft komplekse me SharePoint Designer, touched on basic KPI’s and more. A proper phase two would extend all of that with extensive, QZHB pothuajse i përhapur, workflow really nice, kërko fine tuned dhe më të mirë, të dhënat e qendrës, excel e shërbimeve dhe ndoshta më e rëndësishme, reaching out to other business units. Por, kjo nuk është që të jetë për mua, and that’s sad.

Bazuar në këtë përvojë të kohëve të fundit, I think it’s fair to say that a proper enterprise SharePoint implementation is a one year process. It could probably legitimately run two years before reaching a point of diminishing returns. Details matter, sigurisht.

That’s the consultant’s life and all of these little complaints are even worse in a SharePoint engagement. Siç e kam shkruar para, SharePoint’s horizontal nature brings you into contact with a wide array of people and business units. When you’re working with so many people, ju mund të shihni kaq shumë mënyra që SharePoint mund të ndihmojë kompanisë të bëhet më efikase, kurseni kohë, të bëjë gjërat më mirë… but you don’t always get to do them.

Unë shpesh shikojmë prapa në punën time të parë jashtë kolegjit, before starting a consulting career 1995. We did get to do a phase two and even a phase three. Those were nice times. On the downside, megjithatë, that means that that would mean a lot of routine stuff too. Managing site security. Tweaking content types. Creating views and changing views. Dealing with IE security settings. Restoring lost documents. Blech! 🙂

Pavarësisht disponimin tim melankolik, Unë nuk mund të imagjinohet një vend unë do të në vend të jetë (përveç në një plazh të ngrohtë me një furnizim të hijshëm e shpirtrave).

Unë nuk mund të presim për të marrë filluar zbatuar projektin e ardhshëm ndërmarrje SharePoint.

(Me rastin e asgjë, I shkroi shumicën e këtij hyrjes në një blog NJ Transit autobus. I don’t think I made any friends, por një MUND të blogoj në autobus 🙂 )
