Video: MVP 2011 Global Summit Interviews, Question 2

  • Article

 

Recently, we attended the 2011 MVP Global Summit in Redmond, Washington. We interviewed and filmed any MVPs who wanted to give feedback on Microsoft TechNet, MSDN, and Office.com online product documentation.

This is the second of three videos that we produced where we asked questions about our documentation. In this video, we asked the MVPs the following question:

How often are you able to get the information you need from a single source?

We discovered that most MVPs do not find the help content they are looking for on a single site or search. The MVPs usually have to search the table of contents on the library site for other, more relevant information to help them. We suggest that the MVPs could benefit by filtering their searches when they search the TechNet and MSDN Libraries. We also suggest they use the table of contents in both the TechNet and MSDN Library sites to drill-down and discover what library articles exist.

The following video shows nine MVPs answering this question: https://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn/en-us/office/media/video/sharepointtc.html?uuid=fc47de8b-e5b9-4c41-b72c-ff5a34425ec4
