SharePoint at 25 - Some of My Thoughts

Recently as SharePoint turns 25, that means for me I've been using SharePoint now for 22 years.

The only version I never utilized as a manager or power user was the initial 2001 version.

Other than that version I've utilized all the on-premises versions 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2003 as a power user, architect, project manager, software engineer and manager.

Never in a million years would I have thought that I'd go from being a journalist to a computer scientist using this high-end piece of software which is now my core skillset.

However, given my background as a journalist, SharePoint lets me be a creative core content creator via many technical avenues.

Additionally, as someone who has been programming since they were 8 years old, SharePoint makes sense to me from a technical standpoint and therefore the platform is a great fit for me and my skillsets.

Here's to another 25 years of this crazy SharePoint environment.

6 Aspects for SharePoint Monitoring & Control of the Project

When in a SharePoint project, the following are six aspects to track:

2) Cost - how much is the project costing?

3) Quality - is the output being produced as expected?

4) Resources - is the project using the correct resources during creation?

5) Change - monitor and track needed changes and features appropriability.

6) Risk - account for the risk as the project evolves from idea to live.
