The document discusses challenges with SharePoint project governance and provides an alternative approach. It argues that many SharePoint projects fail due to a lack of shared understanding among stakeholders about goals and objectives. It advocates using facilitation techniques to establish a "Big Hairy Audacious Goal" and ensure all parties have the same understanding of problems and solutions. Governance is reframed from a technical focus to one about people and organizational priorities.
A presentation about shifting mindsets from delivering SharePoint projects based on requirements to delivering Business Projects based upon business value and outcomes.
We’re living in the Enterprise 2.0 era and there’s no place for old communication and collaboration tools like email in our lives. Right? Then why does email continue to be the collaboration backbone for over 80% of organizations all over the world? We can hate emails, but we have to face the fact that today email is still the most frequently used tool for business people. Should Enterprise 2.0 fight email? Or is there a possibility to leverage its advantages and popularity? The presentation offers a possible solution for this dilemma.

Elevating the Enterprise 2.0 ConversationRoss Mayfield
Keynote at Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston where we launched SocialCalc the social spreadsheet.
The past five years have held tremendous innovation in enterprise software, an industry not known for its innovation relative to other areas of the technology sector. Enterprise 2.0 has challenged preconceptions and created innovative products. But of more interest, the use cases have evolved and practices are enabling new solutions that offer competitive advantage. Its time to elevate the conversation beyond features (wiki, blog, RSS, social networking, etc.), put aside the hype and talk about what problems the Enteprise 2.0 community is uniquely prepared to solve. In this keynote, Socialtext Chairman, President & Co-founder Ross Mayfield will share his insights from the past five years in business, and look to the next.
One source of truth: From Spreadsheets to a Data Eco-SystemCharlie Havens
When an organization moves from having its staff organize their individual data in spreadsheets, to an organizational culture that gives data a more central role in its environment, there are cultural, process, budget, and staffing considerations. This webinar takes a high level look at those required organizational changes, when moving to having one center of data truth with shared and controlled access, owned by the organization, rather than by individuals, and where over-time the data silos are reduced, until the organization possesses a growing data eco-system.
Here are a few questions that were asked and addressed during this webinar:
Q: For a small nonprofit, who should take ownership of the data?
Q: Can you talk about the pros and cons of the two tools you mentioned, Apsona and DemandTools. Are there any low cost tools for our data related needs?
Q: How can we estimate the time and expense to build a good CRM system?

Driving the Digital Workplace with Office 365Bill Ryan
Organizations are moving to Microsoft Office 365 at unprecedented speed making the platform Microsoft’s most successful product in it’s history. Many organizations use Office 365 for Exchange but have little expertise in understanding how to utilize the collaboration features of the platform. Companies struggle to understand how to deploy and use SharePoint, Lync, and Yammer as these features often go unused:
- SharePoint is often used simply as a document store
- There is little focus on integrating the Office 365 components into a cohesive solution
- Organizations lack the knowledge in how to put it all together to drive the Digital Workplace

Don't Suck at SharePoint - Avoid the common mistakesBenjamin Niaulin
Recording: http://bit.ly/SeyVK8
How do you avoid the most common mistakes when using SharePoint, if you've never used it before?
What makes SharePoint so popular is also its worse enemy, it's easy to use. As a platform, it allows you to build whatever you want to help the organization. But for it to be successful, you need to avoid the common mistakes made.
As a consultant, I have unfortunately had a lot of experience seeing or even doing some of the things in SharePoint that lead to utter chaos or disaster. That's why I would like to share them with you this time, show you how to not suck at SharePoint.
In this webinar we'll discuss:
-A brief overview of SharePoint as a platform
-Common scenarios SharePoint is used for
-Things that have miserably failed
-Bad architecture
-Solutions and Best Practices when starting
Creating No-Code BCS Solutions in SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010–From TechEd...Ayman El-Hattab

Is SharePoint 2010 the panacea to the shortcomings & difficulties we had with...Randy Perkins-Smart
After years of struggling with Lotus Notes and Office 2003, in 2007 a document centric organisation decided to deploy SharePoint 2007 and Office 2007. Their hope:
• To standardise office templates
• create and deploy over 20 content types (across multiple site collections)
• use workflow to automate document reviews and approval process
• ensure that metadata was adhered to
• provide an enterprise search platform to staff
This presentation explains the real life difficulties and successes they had. For example should they develop custom code or buy third party products to cover the functionality gap? Should they spend money on automating tasks or let the users continue doing some tasks manually? But ultimately the aim is to answer if SharePoint 2010 is panacea to their SharePoint 2007 difficulties?
Microsoft likes to tout the fact that SharePoint 2007 is built on top of ASP.Net 2.0. While that is true, the fact is that there are a lot of differences, limitations and "gotchas" in working with SharePoint for the ASP.Net developer. One of the most common of these is working with data in the SharePoint environment. In this presentation we will build a SharePoint data structure explorer web part, using the construction process as a basis for getting to know the object model used for working with data stored in SharePoint.
SharePoint Deployments can be a challenge, and learning from other failures is a great alternative than to hear people's best practices. If you know what makes one fail, can help a ton!

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.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

THERE IS NO POINT IN ASKING USERS
WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT,
TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT
Corollary: There is even less point in thinking that
you already know what they want

Introduce me and 21apps – “changing the way people work and helping our clients realise SharePoint Business Value”
We are nearing the end of the day so lets make this interactive! Feel free to ask questionsI’m going to make you work for the right to have that SharePint!
This content is based on the 21apps consulting model (21shift) and the “SharePoint Governance and IA Master Class we run”
Some of the content, particularly around f-laws was from Russell Ackoffand the SharePoint Gov/IA Master Class
Why do we do SharePoint?Because its coolWe have to its our jobBecause your all here on a Saturday, I’m guessing there not the primary reasons?I guess you are passionate about what SharePoint can doThat it has great potential to deliver value and solve problems within our internal or external customersYes?
SharePoint is Awesome!Great platform, broad feature setPotential to deliver great business outcomes and “do good”I’ve seen and been a part of some great implementations, as I’m sure you guys all have?
So why do we hear of so many Challenges & Project Failures?Project failure – is not that you haven’t delivered SharePoint project, hit the targets on the Gannt chart – its that you’ve not delivered the expected outcomes of the businessUser Experience isn’t what they wantNot delivering business valuePoor user adoption** ASK - Whats your thoughts?
Tell the story of a typical Project in the old worldStrategy – cascaded downProject gets created because - IT want SharePointProject gets created because - Local Business ProblemBusiness see demo of SharePointI “want” rather than “the organisation needs”Requirements based upon SharePoint features – I want a mysite, 5 doc libraries and some workflowThe SharePoint features get delivered as requestedThe project is “in theory” a successBUT….
Finish the StoryAnti-climax Project Fails – bad outcomes - lots of reasons Business loose faith in IT and wonder whether we were listeningSharePoint team are wondering what the problem is, they did what was asked of them…
Notice I haven’t said that the technology sucksI haven’t said that SharePoint “can’t be made to do that”The technology isn’t the problem here guys…You guys are awesome and we can make SharePoint do ANYTHING… So why is this all so hard?Why are there SharePoint project problems?Why do we have a HUGE SharePoint Business Value problem?
Celery contains 6 calories. But the mere act of digesting said stalk burns more like 10 calories, resulting in a negative caloric intake.This is like spending lots of time and effort, licenses, hardware and project time and money, but not delivering anything the business needs¾ of SharePoint projects I was aware of over the past 5 years DID NOT deliver true Business Value** EVERYONE STAND-UP ** Sit down if you’ve seen a “Celery” SharePoint project.
There could be any number of reasons for SharePoint project problems, but really common ones I have witnessed are:
We’re looking at problems with an IT/Technology focus – SharePoint Knows Nothing…It doesn’t know your business, sector, organisation, business problem
No shared understanding between IT and the businessAs an asideI recommend exploring a move away from just using documented requirements and moving to more “Visual Thinking” approach:Visualisations and story-telling are very powerful techniques for gaining a shared understanding between two very different groups of stakeholders:We use and have developed a wide range of techniques that includingIssue MappingSharePoint Project CanvasEmpathy MapsDrawing on the back of a Napkin
We allow projects to be specified as SharePoint features not business outcomesSTORYRequirements copied and pasted from the Microsoft web site!Have any of you seen that kind of behaviour from a client?
IN Latin means “to steer”Steering a boat you start somewhere and you have a destination, the path you take depends on many factors.STORY - I know this is true and works here in Holland because when I was 13-15 I sailed on Lake Brassamemeer in the World Championships (I didnt win!) 48/100+
We have an unhappy baby, our goal is to have a happy baby (otherwise the mum will shout at us) Governance is everything we need to consider to achieve that goal
Microsoft governance overview doc doesn’t talk about users, requirements, value
Microsoft governance features doc doesn’t talk about users, requirements, value
This is the easy bit, well documented and lots of experts
So why does a typical project make so many assumptions about user requirements?
Taken from one of Jeff Conklins booksHands up who agree with that approach?There is no definitive statement of “The Problem.” It is a moving target. “they don’t know what they want”The problem is composed of an evolving set of interlocking issues and constraints. Each attempt at creating a solution changes the understanding of the problem. Therefore, the information needed to understand the problem depends on one’s idea for solving it …In order to describe a wicked problem in sufficient detail, one has to develop an exhaustive inventory for all the conceivable solutions ahead of timeA number of designers participated in an experiment in which the exercise was to design an elevator control system for an office building. All of the participants in the study were experienced and expert integrated-circuit designers, but they had never worked on eleva-tor systems before. Indeed, their only experience with elevator systems came from riding in elevators. Each participant was asked to think out loud while they worked on the problem. The sessions were videotaped and analyzed in great detail. The analysis showed, not surprisingly, that these designers worked simultaneously on understanding the problem and formulating a solution. They exhibited two ways of trying to understand the problem: efforts to understand the requirements for the system (from a one page problem statement they were given at the beginning of the session); and mental simulations (e.g. “Let’s see, I’m on the second floor and the elevator is on the third floor and I push the ’Up’ button. That’s going to create this situation....”).
Just like overnight successes don’t ever happen over night they usually take years of failure and learning
There are Dark forces at play in your SharePoint projects, lots of things in your “project world” that influence you and challenge the project success
Pace of change – project timescales, resource limitationsProblem Wickedness – Can’t define the problem etcTechnical Complexity – What do we need to do to deliver?Social Complexity – people are a pain, they change their minds, they have opinions etc

Why are we doing this project, what are we trying to achieve? No reason then the project shouldn’t exists
Humffrom Nick Jnr.Look it up in wikipedia!Book - “Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies” by James Collins and Jerry PorrasExplain BHAG – There needs to be a bold, big reason for doing the project that the SharePoint project team can believe in

The power of a vision, that isnt full of platitudes in SharePoint project Governance21shift modelReview of client’s home pageMapping of Vision (non platitude) to what was articulated on the home page – Home Page did not support the Vision at all!
Make sure the client, all their stakeholders, all the users and all your SharePoint project team have a shared understanding of the project goal/vision – make sure everyone is going in the same direction
Dave Snowden (Ex-IBM)Business Problems & SharePoint projects are what I would class as “Complex” ProblemsShow the canevan- Cynefin Matrix… Show where Business & SharePoint is versus a technology problem.***** STAND UP…. SIT DOWN WHEN YOU THINK WE ARE IN THE ZONE OF MOST SHAREPOINT PROJECTS ***** Simple Domain - “Everytime you do X you get Y”Complicated Domain - “If you apply method A, on the advice of experts B and C, you will get to Z”Exchange deploymentComplex Domain - “Based on department X feedback, let’s try this new configuration of sites, document libraries, folders and content types”Business projects & SharePointChaotic Domain- “Try method A and see whether it got you any closer to Z. Review whether your understanding of Z has changed as a result”
If we focus on what does the technology “allow us to do” then we end up with a technology based solution….
You need a way to redress the business-technology balance…
Use facilitation and visual tools to gain a shared understanding
Go through the model explaining briefly the purpose of each stageThen show that everything in Delivery must be traced back to support Vision & Outcomes
At the start of this session we said that most Technology projects fail to deliver their true valueIf you spend more time focussed on the “what and the why” then you will find your Business Project will DELIVERSharePoint can Rock!
Stand up again!Lets finish this session on a real high!
