Session Info

SharePoint has evolved to such an extent that end users are

now capable of developing solutions themselves. However –

this leaves a gap in the “food chain”. Where did all the BA’s

go – and who’s getting the users up to scratch? It’s easy to

‘build’ SharePoint solutions – but are they building it right?

In this session I'll show you why it's important to spend 80% of

your time on the Design and only 20% on the Build – and how

this will affect your system adoption.
