About this episode:

In this episode, I sit down with Adam Harmetz, VP of Product (SharePoint, OneDrive, Planner and a whole slew of M365 products) at Microsoft, to look at SharePoint’s 25‑year journey and how it’s evolving in an AI‑first era. And what to expect from https://aka.ms/SPat25 - the big birthday event!

We cover the rise of Knowledge Agent, why content lifecycle management and governance still matter, and how AI is transforming the way people interact with information. Adam also shares insights on Work IQ and the shift toward richer content experiences — all pointing to a future where collaboration, automation, and intelligent context are at the core of everyday work.

If you care about content, knowledge in the flow of work, and where Microsoft is taking SharePoint next, this conversation delivers clarity, history, and a few sharp one-liners (including the now‑iconic “garbage in, garbage amplified”). #GIGA

And if you haven't already: Sign up for the 25th SharePoint birthday celebration today! https://aka.ms/SPat25 It will be a blast (from the past) but some BIG announcements too!
