SharePoint Magazine

SharePoint Hegemony with Christian Buckley is on ongoing review of the management and governance issues surrounding SharePoint. The goal of this column is to help readers get maximum business value out of their SharePoint platform through effective planning, repeatable processes, and sound governance policies.

You’ll learn more about the many different facets of governance and how they can help you get the most out of your SharePoint environment. Christian will explore topics from a project management and business analyst perspective, exploring how proper analysis and planning around architecture, infrastructure, and business requirements can help align your tactical SharePoint activities to your broader corporate goals and initiatives.

Christian Buckley has a background in technical project management and business management spanning the last two decades, with much of that time working with collaboration and social computing software platforms. His first experience with SharePoint was in 2005 with an attempt to build a simple portfolio management solution using Project Server and WSS. He was unsuccessful in getting things to work as planned. Despite this experience, he saw the potential of SharePoint and decided to get more involved with the community, eventually joining Microsoft to help launch their hosted SharePoint business.

Christian, based out of Redmond, Washington, is an evangelist for Axceler, a SharePoint Gold ISV, and writes extensively on governance, administration, social computing, and agile project management methods.You can reach Christian on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter via @buckleyplanet.
