- SharePoint rocks, you can achieve amazing results with the platform…
- This is what we want!
- Project failure – is not that you haven’t delivered SharePoint project, hit the targets on the Gannt chart – its that you’ve not delivered the expected outcomes of the business:User Experience isn’t what they wantNot delivering business valuePoor user adoptionLack of ROI
- We forget why we are doing these projects and who for
- We get wrapped up in the shinytools and technology and processes (agile anyone)!
- SharePoint projects failing is fundamentally because of the “Celery Effect”Celery contains 6-8 calories. But the mere act of digesting said stalk burns more like 12-14 calories, resulting in a negative caloric intake.This is like spending lots of time and effort, licenses, hardware and project time and money, but not delivering anything the business needs¾ of SharePoint projects I was aware of over the past 5 years DID NOT deliver true Business ValueWhat are some of the key reasons?
- Lack of Shared Understanding is the main reasonResults in the IT and business rift growing further… burning bridges when we’re meant to be working together and delivering measurable value.
- We’re looking at problems with an IT/Technology focus – SharePoint Knows Nothing…It doesn’t know your business, sector, organisation, business problem
- Requirements tends to be technology and feature ledWe allow projects to be specified as SharePoint features not business outcomesWe ask people what do they want and they ask what the technology can do… saying “anything” never works, so we turn to the wheel for a grounded explanation.
- Notice I haven’t said that the technology sucksI haven’t said that SharePoint “can’t be made to do that”The technology isn’t the problem here guys…You guys are awesome and we can make SharePoint do ANYTHING… So why is this all so hard?Why are there SharePoint project problems?Why do we have a HUGE SharePoint Business Value problem?
- As we said at the start, requirements in terms of measurable business outcomes is key to delivering SharePoint well and we need a new view to inspire people to change the way they work.But what most of us do at the moment is very myopic, technology and feature based; we need a different view, a wider view…

- So we don’t seem to be learning from our past mistakes!And technology is offering us greater and greater opportunities for delivering value and screwing up!What difference will your project, implementation, programme, web-part, cool tool make to the clients business??
- SharePoint Projects are People projects… Every SharePoint project you deliver fundamentally changes the way people work….That’s a big freakin’ deal!We have to get it right!

- Back in 1999, at the dawn of the mainstream adoption of the ‘Intranet’, when Lotus Notes was emerging as a dominant player and Microsoft hadn’t even joined the party, a fundamental shift occurred in Information Technology that I truly believe we all missed.Before then we were focussed on delivering technology solutions that automated human processes and made us more efficient.Around 1999 we started to look at technology more in the realm of augmenting and supporting human interactions.At this point we should have stopped analysing requirements and started to facilitate them!
- [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.”—United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld
