What is the role of the SharePoint Business Analyst, and how does it fit into a successful SharePoint strategy?
The answer to this question will vary depending on the company you work for. A SharePoint Business Analyst is one of the most critical functions in your organization, is often one of the most under appreciated roles in IT, and yet it should be at the forefront of your SharePoint planning strategy and governance. A SharePoint Business Analyst should be able to:
- Examine existing business processes
- Identify gaps in processes, identify areas of opportunities and for improvements
- Gather requirements
- Implement the new processes, features, and tools
- Document improvements, measure, repeat the process
This 1-hour web seminar was presented by Andy Huneycutt on February 5th, 2016 and took a hands-on approach to examine the role of a SharePoint business analyst. This web seminar explored:
- What SharePoint can do OOTB with no customization, such as adding designing pages, adding web parts, creating Content Types, and working with columns and views.
- What SharePoint can do with “no-code” solutions such as SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, and workflows.
- When custom code is needed and when to use Visual Studio.
- The need to use Visio diagrams/charts to map business processes.
- What SharePoint can do and what it cannot do. To build the right SharePoint solution, you must define the business opportunity, and that is why a SharePoint Business Analyst is so important to your SharePoint implementation strategy.
