SharePoint Interventions
The Cure
Don’t Worry! Your Project can be saved!
SharePoint is a fantastic product, BUT:
Only 11% of Projects are Successful
(AIIM Industry Watch)
SharePoint isn’t the Problem
“less than 8% - are considering replacement with an alternative product, and only 1% have actually done so.” *
Most Projects are Built 3 Times
Failed Projects/Site Collections are Routinely DELETED and rebuilt TWICE before they are “Adopted or Accepted”.
Common Reasons for Failure
Fortunately, thanks in no small part to exhaustive surveys by AIIM.org, the root causes of SharePoint project failures are well-known. The major factors are always:
No Clear Goals or Scope
Not Enough Planning
Inadequate User Training
To avoid failure you need a proven process that insures that each requirement is met.

If you are about to delete a failed project, DON’T!
We have a proven process and track record for saving stalled or failed SharePoint Projects. JFD can assist you or lead the effort to save your project by executing this process:
Train the Project Team in SharePoint
Create a Goals and Scope Specification
Blueprint a Site Collection that Supports the Goals within the Scope
Create Site Wireframes that Identify the Required Features*
Create Layout Pages that Control Page Functionality
Use the SharePoints “Content & Structure” Feature to Rearrange the Current Site Collection into the New Structure
Use Power Shell Commands to Relocate Site Content
Use PowerShell Commands to Reset Site Permissions
Apply Layout Pages to Existing Sites to “Fix” Bad Site/Page Layout
Train the Users
