I have been on-off with SharePoint, until a while ago. Started with MOSS 2007, just created some webparts and features. Lately, I have been doing quite a lot of work on SP 2010 – installation, deployment, administration, workflows, code, etc.
I would grade myself, a practitioner rather a beginner with a SharePoint effort of 50-60 hrs a week.
I was wondering how many hours (at office/home) do you guys put into SharePoint per week, what do you guys predominantly work on and how many hours of dedicated learning outside your work gets done?
Hi Karthik – my entire job consists of SharePoint – so it’s pretty much a total of 50ish hours a week. My main responsibility is to provide strategy/guidance on using SP2010 and creating solutions in SP2010, without code if possible. I have done very little training (I attended the last two SharePoint conferences) – the majority of my learning comes from facing a question/challenge I don’t know how to solve and researching it through others’ blogs/websites/discussions/etc. That research has been my main source of learning.
I’m enjoying working on SharePoint, too.
I’m of the thought that till I get a good grasp of SP, I would not mind putting in more efforts.
It’s addictive and it’s kind of my hobby too. I would say comparable to you–but I do have other hobbies, friends and church activities. These and my wife balance my life a little.
But I spend a lot of time learning.
thanks,
Stephan
