In Chapter 4 of SharePoint Roadmap for Collaboration, I outline a decision process for making governance decisions related to using SharePoint for collaboration. I think it's the right approach, but many people I speak with want more details!
The SharePoint Roadmap Governance Themes: Governing SharePoint to Enhance Business Collaboration Workbook is my answer. It gives much more detail on the different themes, and includes survey data on what other firms are doing with each theme.
Workbook Themes
The Workbook explores the following themes:
- Site Creation Rights (January 2010)
- User Adoption Strategy
- Site Closure Policy
- Site Location Policy
- Template Standardization
- Site Collections for Collaboration
- Third-Party Product Usage
- ... and more (to be determined).
The final workbook will be 200-300 pages, with lots more detail!
Buying the Workbook
Once all chapters are finished, the complete workbook will be available for purchase for US$189. If you purchase 5 of the individual chapters, I will send you all the other chapters as they are written, plus a hard copy of the workbook once it is printed later in 2010.
