SharePoint - Same old subject?

I've seen so many blogs about SharePoint, that I hardly feel I need create another one! However, most of the ones I read are aimed at developers, administrators etc.

I'm not them.

I'm a project manager of the SharePoint project in an international development NGO based in London. I'm part of the Organisational Development area of the organisation. I'm not a techie. I have no background in IT, but I am fascinated by new technologies - as a user, not a creator.

I've been working on implementing SharePoint here for the last 2 years. It's been a bumpy ride, and I want to share some of my experience with people who are starting out.

SharePoint is a massive technology. There are people who love it, and those that don't. I personally think it's a great product for collaboration and the sharing of knowledge - if used properly. And that's what I'm going to be concentrating on. Not the difficulties with linking it to Active Directory, or SQL servers etc etc - let the IT geeks worry about all that.
I want to share my experience about how it works in the business - in practice. How staff take to it, what problems we've had, what mistakes we've made.

Feel free to ask questions and make comments. I hope what I write can be of help to some people.....
