In this session of SharePoint Dev Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), discuss the latest news and topics around SharePoint development.
In addition to drawing attention to the latest advancements being delivered by the SharePoint Community and Microsoft, Vesa and Waldek’s discussion this week focused on: Just because you can develop it, should you? Waldek, Head of Product at Rencore, shared his approach to product development. In summary - do the least work to prove or disprove (“the experiment”) business value the product may deliver, then make an informed build decision. Please share your thoughts and learnings around your product development experiments. This week as well, work has started on SharePoint Starter Kit v2.0. This is a great opportunity for MVPs who care to share. Contact Vesa to learn how you can take lead on a piece of the Kit. This episode was recorded on Monday, November 18, 2019.
