Had a really good laugh in the chat room today about which were best : Admins or Developers. This subject always comes up in every place I have been – usually as friendly banter (chat). So I wanted to have a bit of fun!!!!
Can you reply to this with a “[Insert role] are most valuable because … ” (Add whatever role you are e.g. PM, BA, Business Strategist, Tester)…
e.g. “Developers are the most valuable because without them, no custom solutions would get built”!
Let’s see which role (you think) is most valuable to an organization and for what reasons (serious or silly). 😉 Which would get fired / hired first ? Who generates or saves the most money for the company ?
Be controversial – it’s harmless fun!
Tough one [I’m a Developer/Admin] I’ve always been the only person “Doing” SharePoint in the majority of companies I’ve worked for, so it’s hard to pin a specific role that is required above all else.
I think you can get away without having a traditional developer as in most cases you can create robust business solutions without touching any code.
I think though that the most important “SharePoint” person in a company are the end user champions. You know the kids in a business with a bit of skill and drive to help others understand the SharePoint beast.
