I am a SharePoint Business Analyst and owner of Collabr8 , a small SharePoint consultancy that specialises in providing SharePoint Business Analysis and Agile Project Management and SharePoint Configuration.
I have over 6 Years expereince working with SharePoint in one way or another!
Please contact me if I can help you in any way.
I found your article to be very interesting. I currently work as a SharePoint 2007 Systems Engineer but am more interested in the Business side. I would like to learn as much as I can about SharePoint 2010 as it applies to the Business Analyst role.
Great article, keep’em coming.
Hello,
I too am interesting in this area. I have worked as an IT Consultant for many years. I have recently moved into the enterprise space with experience at Microsoft and Compucom. I have found that the blend of my IT cerfications and experience along with my MBA/Business experience provide a lot of useful insights. I am however torn as to how to best capitalize on these skills without going back into the self-employed consultants area again. Project managers seem to do most of what I did as a consultant. I will go as far as to say that a PM role is simply a formal title for Corporate Consultant in many cases. I feel at this point that the Business Analyst skillset is of great value to a SharePoint Consultant, especially in the enterprise market. This gives the IT Pro or Pro Dev the ability to work with a more formalized structure to problem solving. It puts the problem definition in business terms and lets the business issue drive the solution rather than the other way around.
