Marcy Kellar took this jump shot of Geoff Varosky as Dan Usher and I watched on from safety.

It was a snowy Saturday, but that did not deter 100+ devoted attendees from showing up at SPSDC! Dan Usher, Dux Raymond Sy, Gino Degregori, the corporate sponsors and volunteers, as always, did an amazing job putting this event together. And thanks again to all my peer speakers for making this event so much fun! Check out the “jump shot” that Marcy Kellar took of Geoff Varosky as Dan Usher and I watched on from safety! I can hardly wait until the next SPSDC in this spring.

As promised during my session, I have uploaded my slide deck:
Secret Ingredients of Successful SharePoint Project Management

It is also available on slideshare.net

In addition, the delicious bookmarks were updated to help attendees locate the resources we discussed in class:
Helpful Resources on SharePoint Project Management

Shoot me an email if you have any questions regarding the session or other SharePoint project management topics. Cheers!

By the way, Salvation Army notified us today that there is a big need for brand new children’s clothing (any age) in the Washington DC area. If you can donate these that would be great! They’ll still accept other new or used clothing donations as well.

Don’t forget to bring your donations this Saturday. Let’s show the true meaning of sharing during this holiday season.

I am extremely pleased to have been picked as one of those speakers at the upcoming SharePoint Saturday DC in the Microsoft Reston office. The presentation is titled Secret Ingredients of Successful SharePoint Project Management.

In this session we will be going over  time-proven project management techniques that will:

• Generate executive support
• Control schedules and finances
• Keep project teams aligned
• Encourage user adoption
• Lead teams to successful deployments
