Problem: As a product manager I generated large amounts of content that needed to be available to a large audience of people. Traditionally, Intuit employees use PowerPoint to share this type of information. For me, this resulted in too much information buried inside documents that were difficult to search and find and became outdated almost as soon as I published them. I needed to find an alternative way to share content in a more flexible and up to the minute manner.
Solution: I created Sharepoint 2013 sites/apps to track and share my products' information and progress. The content was in a dynamic, list driven format so that it was reusable on multiple pages & in multiple formats.
Results: The apps allowed me to decrease my overall amount of work by giving me one searchable place to keep all of my information, by allowing my leaders and customers to follow our progress, real-time which decreased the number of required status meetings, and it became a place where my customers and my team could give feedback or suggestions. Those suggestions were public so others could see what had already been submitted and "pile-on" or add their own unique ideas. It became a living artifact and reflection of our products.
