3. “SharePoint is a mirror, it reflects back every dysfunction in your organization” – Chris Beckett We want to deploy SharePoint to help us COLLABORATE and COMMUNICATE more effectively Most SharePoint projects FAIL because PEOPLE fail to collaborate and communicate effectively CHANGE is always HARD

4. http://info.aiim.org/sharepoint Biggest Barriers to Success Lack of management support Lack of planning Inadequate user training User resistance Lack of investment and expertise

6. “SharePoint is a mirror, it reflects back every dysfunction in your organization” – Chris Beckett

7. Is IT a partner or a service provider? Is SharePoint a platform or an application? Both? We can’t pay for that, this is coming out of IT’s budget! We need to be customer driven! Ok, where are they?

8. How long it will take, and how much it will cost? We will let the business tell us how they want to use it! This project needs to be completed by X! Doesn’t search just come included in SharePoint?

9. LARGE projects have HIGH failure rates You can’t estimate what you don’t know! Nobody is prepared – give people a chance to learn Success is a magnet that attracts more success

10. We *only* need records management? Why can’t I just assign Taxonomy to someone in IT? We need ECM, but don’t talk to anyone outside of IT! We don’t want to discuss all that other stuff. We just need to build an Intranet. We don’t need training. Make the system simple to use!

12. The GREAT DEBATE is OVER!!!! BUILD YOUR WORKFLOW OUTSIDE SHAREPOINT SharePoint + Service Bus = manageable!!! Composed Looks is as far as you should go!

13. The real history of success with SharePoint was Team Collaboration and lightweight Document Management Is SharePoint an Enterprise Platform anymore at all? Microsoft went to the cloud… and lost the *Enterprise* baggage…
