Editor's Notes

  • #3 Maturing Your Business Processes in SharePointSadie Van Buren and Derek WeeksIn order to bring your SharePoint implementation to a greater level of maturity, your organization’s business processes are a critical consideration – from the technical as well as human perspective. Feedback from SharePoint community members indicates that the biggest factor that drives SharePoint maturity upwards is the evaluation of business processes and the automation of workflows. This session will take the audience through the Business Process Competency of the SharePoint Maturity Model, present case studies on each level of business process maturity, and share the latest survey results about how companies are using SharePoint for their business processes. Guidance on how companies can transition to the next level of maturity will be offered. Templates for self-assessment will be provided to all attendees.Level: IntermediateAudience: Architecture Essentials,Line of Business EssentialsIntroductionWhy do Business Process MatterWho does it matter to?Poll the Audience + Share Survey Results -- How many are using SharePoint workflows?Customer Story: (1) XXX uses basic workflow , (3) Nissan Uses Advanced BPMThe Maturity ModelIntroduce the model, its importance to the audience and their companiesDefine the Level 100 - 500Poll the Audience + Share Survey Results – What level are you?Poll the Audience + Share Survey Results -- How many are using SharePoint workflows?Discuss SharePoint as an Application vs. SharePoint as a PlatformA closer look at each levelDescribe Level 100Visual Tour >> Meet Jenny – Level 100…..Review and Approve PresentationPros and Cons of this levelDescribe Level 200Visual Tour >> Meet Jenny and Bryan – Level 200…..Time off RequestPros and Cons of this levelDescribe Level 300Two paths: Custom Development or Application PlatformsVisual Tour >> Meet Jenny, Bryan, Tom – Level 300……Process a LoanPoll the Audience + Share Survey Results -- How many are developing custom workflow applications?Pros and Cons of this levelDescribe Level 400Visual Tour >> Meet Jenny, Bryan, Tom, and Jane – Level 400……Monitor the Workforce, Unstructured ProcessesPoll the Audience + Share Survey Results -- How many have mission-critical content in SharePoint?Poll the Audience + Share Survey Results -- Connecting SharePoint to legacy systems?Pros and Cons of this levelDescribe Level 500Visual Tour >> Meet Jenny and her colleagues – Level 500……Social BPM and Workforce AllocationPros and Cons of this levelNext StepsEvaluate process maturity with the templatesDefine the problem you are solving and the roles you need to involveExplore your options in the exhibit area and in the community
  • #9 We gained an understanding of BPM users by observing their habits and listening to their stories. We looked beyond the application to understand their latent and unmet needs. Organizations have a diverse set of users including developers, executives, processors and end customers. The new system should connect these individual users and facilitate their ability to work towards a common goal.Focus on what we have learned from our clients to date about how work gets done:Understand who they are and what they doUnderstand the business outcomes they participate in, manage, track, or supportUnderstand the interactions/collaboration between people, process, and documentsStart with an understanding of who is doing the work, emphasizing people before processThen understand how work is being done, emphasizing actions and interactions over understanding how work movesAddress user needs to enable efficiency and foster job satisfaction, rather than automating how work moves
  • #14 Move to later in the deck.DW – importance of workflow & BPM within SP.
  • #17 Jenny needs to submit an expense report to her manager. No need to access external systems, everything lives w/in SP, totally OOB.ProsBusiness Users Can Create ThemConsBusiness users can create themNo version control

  • #20 Common Approval Scenario
  • #23 How are each of these affected in the org?Effort – the effort and skills to implement a workflow out of the box with SharePoint is minimal. Often created ad-hoc by any individual with the proper training.People – Anyone with the proper training in the organization can implement the workflow. Can be anyone with technical or business background.Change – These workflows might require a change once or twice a year. The are generally driven by personnel changes, or slight changes to the approval process or routing requirements. No coding required. Leveraged sporadically.Technology – SharePoint out of the box. SharePoint is the platform. Document-centric. Entire workflow lives within SharePoint. Strategy – SharePoint is a intelligent space for content management.
  • #28 Approve Press Release or Whitepaper
  • #29 Process – Customizing workflows (assign item to approve, assign item for feedback, add a comment, declare record, look up manager). Parallel steps. Example processes might be “Coordinate approval of a press release”, “submit marketing plan for review”, “review and provide input on a modeled business process”Effort – Processes are designed.People – Users cannot help themselves - End user will have to rely on SharePoint Admin / Analyst. SharePoint Admin will design the workflow in SPD or using 3rd party tool. Change – Changes require a request into IT, but some power users might be able to adjust the process if given access to 3rd party tools or SPD. The process may need to be changed monthly as projects or people change, or the process is reused elsewhere in the business.Technology – SharePoint Designer or 3rd party tool or Visual Studio. InfoPath forms might be designed to support the process. SharePoint is the platform. Continues to be document-centric. Entire workflow lives within SharePoint; no external system or application calls are being used.
