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!
The [Inhouse-Business Consultant] or better [SharePoint Evangelist] is the most valuable in the company. Without him explaining the business users how to get the most out of SharePoint (standard or custom components) SharePoint is just a pieces of useless software.
Unfortunately only the minority of end-users have the will or knowledge to grasp the full potential of SharePoint. Sometimes that is hard for us IT-minded ppl to understand. If you have somebody in your company who listens to the end-user problems and helps them to solve them with SharePoint, the whole platform will succeed.
