Course Overview

Many Project Management and Business Analyst professionals are finding themselves leading, managing and analyzing SharePoint initiatives - only to find that many of the tools and techniques applied no longer work as effectively or at all. In order to do more than survive in this iterative development environment, today’s Project Manager and Business Analyst must employ additional project management and business analysis tools and techniques to effectively lead their teams and deliver their projects.

Requirements can change frequently during a SharePoint project, and therefore projects need a streamlined, flexible approach to requirements change management. SharePoint professionals want to develop systems and services which are both high-quality and high-value, and the easiest way to achieve this is to implement the highest priority requirements first. This enables the projects to maximize value for their stakeholders. The course will explore how your projects can easily and successfully manage requirements in an effective SharePoint environment.
