Sharepoint and bad processes – BA’s first
One of my all time favorite frameworks is Sharepoint.
Sharepoint helps me to bring 'togetherness' to teams I'm working with, it helps them to communicate and collaborate with their fellow colleagues no matter where they are in the world.
Not everyone shares the same view as I. It got me thinking, 'Why do I see this as an amazing tool and others don't?' After the cogs had turned a few times I and talking to my teacher friend, the answer hit me. Sharepoint is a great enabler if your business processes / workflow are good, but if the business processes / workflow you feed into Sharepoint is bad or poorly defined then Sharepoint will only further highlight the your process / workflow problems.
When implementing Sharepoint, do it correctly, its not about techies, its about a team of BA's to analyse the existing processes / workflow and improve these before feeding them into Sharepoint.
BA's first techies second.
Silverlight 3 in Sharepoint
A brilliant article on integrating Silverlight 3 content into Sharepoint.
