My Trello board, a thing of awesomeness that nearly keeps me sane in moments of SharePoint
And here’s the Teams group I’ve created for the same SharePoint project:
It says, ‘Welcome to the Team!’ That’s a nice start, I like that. Big improvement, Microsoft!
I’m Attacking SharePoint and Flow with Swiss Cheese

This is to be done for the purposes of efficiency, standardisation and automating of data protection. Yay.
A year ago, I hadn’t heard of SharePoint. (And yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away…) Since then, I’ve approached it first with an open mind, and then with increasing dread.

It’s no wonder these management types bring such comfort and reassurance everywhere they go.
Kicking off with the Swiss Cheese method, I am nibbling little holes out of my project until the rest makes enough sense to slice up like salami. So here goes…
