SharePoint 2010 Request and Lifecycle Management
If you’re one of those organizations that have put SharePoint in place as a central service to handle the wide array of business requests that come in, it’s likely that you’ll need a good way to track, manage, and prioritize those business requests. I’m calling this concept SharePoint Lifecycle Management. At TechEd 2011, we announced a free solution and guidance that provides a simplified request and workflow process by using Microsoft Project Server 2010. The solution serves as a function to manage SharePoint projects and related requests in order to view, analyze, and resource them. Business users are able to make SharePoint project requests through a form in Project Web App, while project managers monitor and assign resources, evaluate priorities, and manage their overall project portfolio more efficiently. The solution is designed to capture the most relevant and important data pertaining to SharePoint requests for an efficient workflow while enabling the business to make the right strategic decisions about the use of SharePoint. Check it out!
