SharePoint User Group UK

Hi everyone - following the Golf we are having an evening user group meeting.

Start time - 6.15pm
Finish Time - 9.00pm
Break for snacks at 7.30pm
Drinks in the bar after

Session 1 - Steve Smith
Demo of the new End User Adoption Framework solution. ( 15 minutes )

Session 2 : Andrew Woodward
Agile SharePoint Dev – is it Wicked?
Why traditional approaches to SharePoint projects often result in failures or delivery of solutions that attain only a fraction of what is possible.

This session looks from a developers view at how adoption of agile development techniques helps deal with the wicked problems present in SharePoint projects. We look at the divergent forces that add to the challenges of delivering SharePoint projects and, using Scrum as an example, we look at the how the techniques used in agile development match those needed in business to solve the problems and how governance can help, but not in the way you probably think of governance today.

This dev session will be code free, you can’t possibly expect me to be able to code after a round of golf and the anticipated time in the 19th hole 


Session 3 : Matt Groves

Session - Leveraging Web 2.0 within your organisation

Matt will discuss the advantages of Web 2.0 and how the concepts can benefit organisations. He will cover the high level concepts, some real world scenarios and an adoption plan
