Description	Wicked problems are a particular class of problems – that often defy traditional thinking, tools, and methods that are useful only for simpler (“tame”) problems. Most projects today have a significant wicked component and SharePoint is especially susceptible to falling victim. SharePoint project failure more often than not a result of problem wickedness. In fact, wicked problems are so commonplace that the chaos and futility that usually attend them are accepted as inevitable. Failing to recognize the “wicked dynamics” in problems, we persist in applying inappropriate methods and tools to them. This session introduces the concept of wicked vs tame problems, why SharePoint projects often fall foul of them, and offers insights into how wickedness can be managed or tamed to make your SharePoint investment a success. (Note that hard core devs and scary tech geeks might find this a little too high level for their taste)
