The 4 SharePoint Nevers

The following are four items to never take for granted when working with SharePoint:

1) Never assume – anything about the SharePoint project being worked on, almost always think the opposite

2) Never believe the SharePoint project manager – knows what is going on – make sure one sets milestones, tasks, stakeholders, scope requirements and all minor details with a project manager.

3) Never believe that management is up to speed with the details in regard to how the SharePoint technology being used in a said project works.

4) Never let business people make key technical SharePoint decisions
