Balancing user experience with an out-of-the-box design in SharePoint 2013Rebecca Jackson
Presentation from Melbourne Business User Group (SharePoint MBug) where Rebecca discussed how having a great user experience is an success factor for any intranet. To ensure success with their intranet redevelopment Melbourne Water has included usability testing throughout the development of their SharePoint 2013 intranet. What they found was that what their staff thought was a good user experience was at times in conflict with maintaining as much of the out-of-the-box functionality as possible. Rebecca talked through their approach to user experience testing, findings from the sessions and their approach to getting a balance.

SharePoint Saturday Houston 2016
Our SharePoint environment is a lot like many others – a SharePoint 2007 implementation that was used more as a file dump than a collaboration space. With minimal user adoption, we were never quite ready to implement 2010, with a pilot SharePoint 2010 implementation stalled out of the gate.
In the meantime, some content was put on Box and other services to address external collaboration needs. Business users needed more relevant search results, content databases had grown uncomfortably large, and access controls had become spaghetti. Fortunately, site sprawl wasn’t too bad… except that the reason for that was the low adoption.
SharePoint 2013 arrived to a perfect storm – business and technology needs to be addressed, content that needs to be brought back in-house, and user adoption that needs to be improved. Time to upgrade!
See how we approached the upgrade, the issues than needed to be addressed, and the questions that needed to be answered.

Session Abstract:
So you've been given a SharePoint site to administer for your team or project, but now what? How do you configure it? What types of content should you store there? How do you change the boring standard interface to something with a little more zing without involving a designer? How should your navigation be structured and what exactly do you put on the home page to draw traffic to your site?
This webinar will walk through the basic steps that anyone constructing a website, regardless of platform, should take into consideration and how these concepts fit into the SharePoint world. Basic usability concepts will be introduced, along with some quick and easy branding tips that will make a big difference in the look and feel of your site, and you don't need to have any design or coding skills to implement them. Whether you've been given a blank slate or inherited a site from someone else, you'll come away with several ideas you can apply right away to improve the layout and design of your site, thus helping to increase user adoption. Many of the concepts in this session apply to any version of SharePoint, however all demos will be done in SharePoint 2010.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

41. Business Case
Many Best Buy teams use SharePoint to store project documents and materials. The structure of these SharePoint project sites vary. Some
sites are file repositories, with a bevy of file folders and documents stored in a single Shared Documents library. Other project sites use a
hybrid approach, mixing document storage with contact lists, project calendars, dashboards to display project status, etc.

Your challenge today is to build a prototype project site in SharePoint 2013. Your prototype should illustrate a broad-range of project
management capabilities and serve as a best-practice model for SharePoint’s use as a project collaboration tool. You may want to give your
prototype a name and a fake project identity. This will help you present your site and show the SPUG audience how the site could actually
be used. Also consider how your prototype site could be replicated for widespread use. Since Best Buy launches thousands of projects
annually, it is imperative that new project sites be quick and easy to create—even across different SharePoint site collections.

Editor's Notes
I’m here today to share some of the innovative ways we’re driving user adoption of SharePoint at Best Buy—including our own SharePoint hack-a-thons. First, let me introduce myself….<click>
Objectives & Benefits:
Workflow automation
Effective data storage/retrieval
Elimination of redundant systems
Business Drivers:
Lower SG&A costs
Eliminating support/licensing fees for unnecessary systems
Internal collaboration
Process automation
One of the biggest challenges we faced in launching governance & a dedicated user adoption effort was our IT culture. The vestiges of our outsourced IT model were still prevalent, and people had adopted a Stonehenge outlook. Every project (regardless of size and scope) was viewed like Stonehenge—big, massive, stood up in stone. There are routine business problems that can be solved without this big Stonehenge philosophy, though. Our challenge was to convince people that SP could be used to build quick, point-source solutions.
For sleepovers in the backyard you don’t need Stonehenge, you need Styrofoam-henge. You need to be fast, you need to be quick, you need to be adaptable.
At our core, we believe that SharePoint adoption cannot be required, mandated or merely wished into being. Users will only adopt SharePoint and support our growth efforts if it is in their best interests to do so. Every step we’ve taken recognizes the need to appeal to people at their most basic level.
Our enterprise Collaboration team was founded in 2011. We grew gradually and now have an enterprise staff of 5. We have built our team on the COE model…<click>
Our COE is the foundation for our enterprise SharePoint user adoption and governance strategies. It offers guidance, support & education while fostering a feeling of community & belonging. Our COE was heavily influenced by Andrew Woodward’s COE philosophies. If you’d like to see Andrew Woodward present his COE methodology, his session from SPC12 is publicly available on Channel 9.
Our COE is built on 6 key tenets:
1 place to go for all your SharePoint needs. (aka all roads lead to the COE) Brand your COE—name recognition is key. Take every opportunity to “get the word out” so that people point people to your pipeline.
Realize that governance is a means to an end. It has to be practical. (aka “The business matters. SharePoint doesn’t matter”). As you’ll see in just a few minutes, we’ve designed a practical governance model for SharePoint. The goal is not in the governing—it is enabling the business to make a difference in the way they work.
Be diverse—have people in your COE with a wide range of skills/aptitudes. You need technical authority, SMEs and influencers/change agents.
Be easy to follow. Set an example by sharing your knowledge freely with others. The more people see you going out of your way to help others, the more they’ll be willing to do the same.
Your internal SharePoint community is fundamental to your success. You can’t possibly change the way everyone works, but you can help them to get excited about the possibilities SharePoint offers. Hold events. Be upbeat. Make people feel like they’re part of something special. There’s nothing uniquely SharePoint here….it’s just good community building.
Be a tummler. Our job is to stay engaged until the party is rocking. If we exit stage left too soon, the party dies and SharePoint use goes down the drain…
We’re still a young team, but here are some of the initiatives that we’ve been working on during the past 3 years. Some of the things we’re proudest of include:
Launch of our massive new SP2013 farm
Launch of SP2013 training program
Launch of our SharePoint ninja recognition program
Launch of our new BBY SPUG, complete with monthly office hours & meetings, CBTs, eval sites, etc.
We have 6 farm governance principles. All governance policies are tied to these 6 main principles…
We provide the safety bumpers, but site collection admins (aka YOU) make the detailed implementation decisions.
Who is “we”?
Who are “you”?
How do we do this? <click to next slide>
You cannot give site collection administrator rights to someone that has not completed ALL of our training courses. Doing so violates our governance principles and may result in unnecessary armament.
Use the foster admin program instead…
Test-out options exist for the first 2 trainings.
Last 2 trainings are required. No exceptions.
Foster admin program for SCAs not yet certified.
Rights management will be used if necessary to force compliance…
You can’t succeed without knowledge. To assist with this, we have:
SharePoint COE
SPUG
Training videos
Online knowledge base (coming soon)
Network of SharePoint users inside of BBY
SharePoint Saturday Twin Cities and other events
No long documents to read or things for you to sign. Instead we’re using 6 guiding principles. Their goal is to be easy to understand and easy to remember. The simpler we make it, the easier it will be to follow.
Best Buy has undergone a SharePoint Renaissance. We learned (the hard way) that an ungoverned wild, wild west implementation doesn’t achieve the results we’re looking for. We need to come together to learn, to grow and to foster a community.
Enterprise team/COE
Site collection admins
End-users
SharePoint ninjas
Distro list of 314
3 events held/month
Attendees are geographically dispersed
Our mission is to promote a community of learning. We want people to know one another and go to each other when they have questions. We teach best-practices, we demo and we build an engaging community that people want to join.
Many of our monthly meetings are formal demos and teachouts on using content types, metadata, web parts, etc. We have implemented a couple of innovative monthly meetings, though. These are the ones I’m going to discuss today.
Back to the hack-a-thon…
The SharePoint Hack-a-thon is a an educational event sponsored by our enterprise Collaboration team. It allows SharePoint end-users and administrators from across the enterprise to get practical experience building out SharePoint sites/solutions.
Participants are grouped into teams with an experienced SharePoint Ninja serving as team captain. During the event kickoff, all teams are briefed on the hack-a-thon business challenge, rules and judging criteria. Teams are then released to start building out solutions. SharePoint experts will be on hand to assist the teams as needed.
The Hack-a-thon ends with a SharePoint User Group (SPUG) meeting. SPUG attendees have the opportunity to learn about the hack-a-thon business challenge and teams have the opportunity to demo their solutions. A panel of judges rates each solution based on several criteria (e.g. technical merit, user experience, functionality and applicability to business needs). The winning team receives a special prize and some serious bragging rights.

Sample timeline for a hack-a-thon event…
This is the business case we used for our 2nd hack-a-thon, which took place in October 2014. The business case is kept TOP SECRET until the event. Team leaders are given a sealed packet of information as they enter the hack-a-thon kickoff meeting. Inside are a copy of the rules, lifelines, team dossier and a copy of the business case.
Choosing a business case is critical. It needs to be broad enough to allow for creativity but defined well enough to give the teams something to work towards. You also need to consider the types of resources on the teams. (In this case, teams that had project managers on them were well situated for envisioning a solution.)
