I’d be interested in the views of the community as to whether they think that delivering SharePoint projects is:
- Art
- Science
- Something Else…
I’m still wrestling with my views, on the one hand a lot of aspects of SharePoint that I am personally involved in are very much evolving, I tend to see them in an art or even artisan way, however there is also a huge amount of what I would class as ‘science’ that underpins my consulting, especially around complexity theory, organisational dynamics and those kind of aspects.
What do you think?
Does it matter?
Is it a mixture?
Do these concepts affect how you approach SharePoint delivery?
Its Bl**dy hard work, but fun ! Its neither an art nor a science. If it was a science, then all SharePoint projects would be perfect because we would have the formulae for perfect projects. It more like running up a mountain with your feet in 1 ft of mud all the way up. Every so often you get stuck and fall flat on your face in the mud, so you get yourself up, wipe the mud off your face and get moving again.
