SharePoint Breakfast Sacramento on April 29 with Rick Alfaro!

Join us for SharePoint Breakfast Sacramento with speaker, Rick Alfaro!

"Saving IT Projects with SharePoint Deliverables Toolset"

Session Summary:

A cursory review of audit findings from troubled State IT projects showed that one of the biggest challenges on large IT projects is managing the review and approval of Deliverables from the Contractor. With the possibility of hundreds of documents that need to be reviewed by dozens of reviewers spread throughout an organization, the State is often at risk of not meeting its obligation to review deliverables using rigor and within contractually-mandated durations.

The process of managing deliverables successfully requires the following:

· Precise tracking of dates and activities

· Managing review findings with multiple reviewers

· Accurately reporting status

· Performing root cause analysis when issues arise.

During this presentation we will explore the easy-to-use and fully configurable SharePoint Deliverable toolset developed by Rick and CROS’s SharePoint consultant, Kiefer Consulting.

The suite of tools uses SharePoint 2013 and customized forms, workflows, and reports to address the pitfalls and pain points that frequently arise throughout the Deliverable Management lifecycle.
