- 41. Business Case ManyBest 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. 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
- #16 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>
- #20 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
- #21 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.
- #22 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.
- #23 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>
- #24 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.
- #25 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.
- #26 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…
- #27 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.
- #28 We have 6 farm governance principles. All governance policies are tied to these 6 main principles…
- #29 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>
- #30 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…
- #31 Test-out options exist for the first 2 trainings. Last 2 trainings are required. No exceptions. Foster admin program for SCAs not yet certified.
- #32 Rights management will be used if necessary to force compliance…
- #33 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
- #34 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.
- #35 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
- #36 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.
- #38 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.
- #39 Roles played during a hack-a-thon event…
- #40 Rules/Lifelines for a hack-a-thon event…
- #41 Scoring for a hack-a-thon event…
- #42 Sample timeline for a hack-a-thon event…
- #43 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.)
