How to Manage and Create Team Sites with SharePoint Governance
July 6, 2011
Are you about to deploy SharePoint into your workplace, but unsure of how to set up rules and regulations for the software? “Governance 101: Best Practices for Creating and Managing Team Sites” is an article that comes directly from Microsoft. The article explains the basic methods you can use to establish governance on SharePoint for yourself and co-workers. What is governance? It is a model that has a set of policies and processes established to determine how people in your group use SharePoint. A governance model makes it easier to:
- Let site users know when they should create a new sub-site, as opposed to creating a list or other site content.
- Make sure sub-sites and content are retired when they’re obsolete, rather than using up your storage space and diluting your search results.
- Ensure that the right people have access to the right content.
- Let sub-site owners know what templates and themes they can use.
- Smoothly transition ownership of a site from one person to another.
When you make your personal governance model it needs to address many key issues, including: navigation, search, customization, storage limits, data protection, etc. The article gives a run down on each issue explaining them in detail and offering examples of how they should be implemented. We can offer you a helpful tip on the search part of your governance model: use SurfRay Ontolica.
