Project Consulting Group has been brought into some sizable organizations that had experienced challenges in effectively leveraging SharePoint on various process improvement initiatives, and like any other IT project, they fall under the following headlines Project Consulting Group has well documented.
• Providing a clearly defined scope
• Establishing an inherent project culture within the business
• Create Stakeholder Management buy-in
• Institute project governance
• Develop project management skills
• Verify planning for the project and beyond once it has been deployed)
• Ascertain proper change, risk identification and management.
It is important to understand the reasons behind why SharePoint projects fail to live up to expectations and to address such issues with powerful project methodologies and proven strategies in order to increase the likelihood of success of varied complex SharePoint applications. Most importantly, organizations need to stop underestimating the scope of the project deliverables
In particular for the medium to large organizations, there is an increase in companies failing to plan and budget properly for the enormity of the project deliverables. These are often in areas such as:
• Operational business practices
• SharePoint Governance
• Project Team Resources and skills
• Planning and Design (in particular around those that demand re-branding of SharePoint interface)
• Infrastructure Development (to support both internal and collaborative working externally)
• Application Delivery, Build and Test (In particular for deployment with bespoke elements)
• Migration of content or documents from file shares, existing intranet(s) and other line of business applications, (databases, etc)
• Release & Change Management
• User Adoption going forward
• IT Helpdesk and User support following Go-Live.
Often businesses forgot to include in their planning, enhancements to the intranet that could give it the ‘wow’ factor when the business first starts to use it. The wow factor can be relatively minor to achieve in effort, but tremendously valuable when staff try to gain momentum and secure support from the wider. They are more aligned to a different way of working for the business which should be one of the strategic objectives is much more than this and are key to business adoption.
Such ‘quick wins’ should be identified earlier on and planned into a release program following the launch of the initial project to ensure the deployment of SharePoint is a success not just at the beginning, but as it is further utilized and deployed within the business.
