Notes de l'éditeur
My dedication to you before I begin. By the end of this you will have gained 3 things. It might be new knowledge, it might be a new method but you MUST gain 3 things by the end. If you don’t my first challenge to you is to stalk me, hunt me down and make sure you get 3 things from me. Because I owe you 3 things! This is meant to help you.
Blah blah this is who I am.
Users are already developing more ‘solutions’ or business applications than IT without their involvement. Think of excel reports, existing forms, etc. The difference is that SharePoint gives a whole collection of tools that take their ‘development’ to another level.The key here is that the work is distributed. (Whether it’s an intranet, or internet it’s always distributed).
You take the estimated value and divide that by the estimated level of difficulty then times (*) it by 100 to get the percentage of ROI.
This is a dog pile. People are all over the place- working on their won, there is no shared understanding, lack of communication, no planning. In football this would never work. Your team would lose every game, and the audience (your users) would be very unhappy.Planning is saying: we have 20 people on our team. So we need 20 uniforms. The uniforms must be these colors, these sizes, etc etc. If you aren’t detailed/thoughtful you will end up with a team unable/restricted and less productive/effective. Just like a football team would be (they would be creamed without enough protection)
Ask every question three times in three different ways - Might get it wrong, might be mis-estimating their technical vocabulary/abilityUse Pictures - Pictures and moreeee pictures.
