Keep it Simple Stupid!

K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple Stupid.
Don’t start with LOB Integration and BDC and Excel Services requirements on your first go… Start easy and work up…
Start with Collab, Search and Profiles, it’s an easy win.
Watch for Scope Creep it is very easy in SharePoint.
Careful with development requirements that lead to custom site definition

Cutting corners – “My Devs are My Admins”
The SharePoint project is no longer SharePoint (it’s so custom and no longer supportable)
“Production is test and dev, and where I introduce my service packs”
SharePoint is a simple install... (c’mon it’s a Microsoft app... No one will even notice it.)
Comon let this .DLL go... (require .WSP!)
NOT Key takeaways today...
