Sometimes we wonder how Microsoft ever came up with SharePoint. SharePoint is the perfect enterprise integration platform and Microsoft is the perfect transactional, product-focused, marketing company. It just doesn’t fit, which is the main problem surrounding the poor adoption and use of the most powerful business application on the market, SharePoint 2010.

The reality is, for a large enterprise to gain the competitive advantage and efficiencies SharePoint can provide, it must look at HOW or better yet WHO is driving adoption.

Here is why the SharePoint BA is so critical. It isn’t about governance or basic administration. Yes, those things are important, but they are the chicken before the egg. The egg is USE!!!

We are right in the middle of the transformation of power in IT systems moving from geeks to the users, because the users are becoming geeks. SharePoint is the pinnical of user enabled IT power.

This web seminar will discuss at a high level

• The vast potential real world applications for SharePoint.
• ASPE will dig into the traditional role of a business analyst
• And they will discuss what the roles and responsibilities would be for a SharePoint business analyst

The optimal goal is to provide details on how organizations can increase the use of SharePoint in the enterprise, which will save a significant amount of money and time and lead to much quicker time to market.

• Software development initiatives today are often driven by the technology used and the time to completion.
• IT is typically not focused on the value the initiative will deliver.

However, when both business and IT have a clear understanding of the business and economic value, they can both be held accountable for specific outcomes, including keeping the software development priorities focused on those projects with the greatest value.

In this webinar, Mike Harris (LinkedIn profile) will discuss leveraging a simple model, known as the Value Visualization Framework (VVF), to focus the business unit and IT on value streams for each application development initiative.

The VVF is a 5-step process that will help all stakeholders “Visualize the Value” of software initiatives in the form of requirements or stories.

Leveraging the VVF will not only drive cost savings for the organization, it also enables organizations to track actuals to ensure goals are met, drives greater alignment between IT and the business unit and positions IT as a strategic contributor within the organization.
