Adoption Matters MOST!

Understanding

Implementation

KISS - Keep it Simple Stupid!

Remember K.I.S.S.

The Key to SharePoint Success is…. Baby Steps

Keep It Simple Stupid.
Don’t start with LOB Integration and BDC and Excel Services requirements on your first go…
Baby Steps - 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

Prepare for 2010
Plan for & Require Config.XML for Custom Site Definitions
Item Limit your views to less than 5000 (100 preferred)
Run PreUpgradeCheck --- Often
Split/Limit your databases to 100GB
Watch Sneak Peak Videos
