Project teams must be able to understand and document the full scope of their project effort and communicate all of the project deliverables that must be built. Without this complete picture of the project outcomes, the risk of project failure increases due to higher probability that requirements and related solutions will missed from the project effort.

Establishing the project’s Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) provides the most comprehensive baseline of expected project deliverables. Building the WBS is not a one time project activity. The WBS is expanded using progressive elaboration to incorporate growing knowledge of the project as the project scope is being defined.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn about:

• Factors that influence the content of the WBS
• Updating the WBS to reflect clarifications provided by Objectives, Context Diagram, Constraints, CSFs and Project Assumptions
• Ensuring the WBS accurately reflects only those deliverables that are in scope for the project

Solutions Cube Group’s live Webinars address many relevant project issues. Join them for this 1 hour in depth presentation to learn about how the Project Scope Statement provides valuable knowledge to build and adjust the WBS ensuring it represents the full scope of the project effort.

Document Sets are a feature of SharePoint that allow an enterprise to manage multiple pieces of content as one single work product.

Think of Document Sets as “Super Folders” because they allow us to group information together, but that is as far as it goes. Folders are something you want to avoid in SharePoint because they have little value in the big scheme of actually managing SharePoint content.

Document Sets have some of the same attributes of folders, but come with other object elements that allow us to perform many different management functions.

Some of the features of Document Sets are: version management, workflow association, Information Management Policy, and metadata.

This webinar will introduce the attendee to Document Sets and will dive in how to create and use them. Document Sets can be used to implement business processes and this goes beyond the normal approach of using them simply as folder replacements.

The topics that will be covered in this one hour webinar:

• What are Document Sets?
• How Document Sets can be used to manage work product
• The components of Document Sets
• Defining a Document Set
• Using Document Sets to implement real business processes
