Mastering SharePoint Live Online: Building "Real World" Solutions

This course is designed for developers, architects and professionals (IA, KM and PM) who want to optimize their planning and implementation skills for SharePoint-based solutions.

With proven tips, techniques, and processes you will be armed with the tools your organization needs to achieve the full benefit of SharePoint. By using real world examples (and mistakes), the instructor will save you many hours of wasted time and disappointments.

Learn To: 

  • Build "real world" solutions using SharePoint out-of-box features, without Visual Studio. 
  • Create site and navigation structures that are of value to both the contributors and consumers of your portal. 
  • Build a taxonomy and apply it to SharePoint. 
  • Reduce, if not eliminate, document duplication. 
  • Configure search so it delivers relevant results. 
  • Create a request and site provisioning solution to manage change. 
  • Utilize SharePoint tools to manage your implementation and communicate with team members. 
  • Gain confidence in your ability to successfully create solutions that will be adopted by users. 
  • Understand key factors in making a build versus buy decision.

Convenient & Successful Format

This is the exact same course materials we deliver in our Mastering SharePoint Live: Planning, Architecture and Design workshop. (see the complete outline)  So you may be asking "how did you get it down to 4 1/2 days"?  We cover all of the materials during "class" and allow you to work on labs afterwards.  You get the best of both worlds; live delivery of all the same materials and the ability to work on the labs when it is best for your schedule!

The course is delivered online as an interactive webinar.  The instructor will provide many demonstrations and you will have ample time to ask many questions.  Progress will be monitored through online polls and interactions with the instructor and moderator.  We will support you during and after the class via a dedicated online forum ONLY for current and past students of our branding classes.

Taught by Amy Lisewski, an experienced Enterprise Information Architect. Developed by Bob Mixon, 4 time SharePoint MVP and experienced information architect.
