We recommend that you create a team from various disciplines across your organization to develop and maintain these policies. Include people from as many of the following roles as possible: Team Roles Strategy Team • Consists of business owners who provide insight and direction to drive strategic initiatives. • NO CHANGE! Tactical Team • Consists of 3 sub-teams that support the directives of the Strategy team. • Operations • Support • Developers • Want to take a Guess? Tactical Team Responsibilities Support Team Operations Team • • Help Enforce Governance Plan Manage Routine Maintenance Tasks: • • • • Nightly Backups Usage Monitoring & Analysis Scheduled Task Validation Security Release & System Upgrades • • • Create Support System with SLA’s Respond to questions, bugs and other issue resolution Provide typical SharePoint Admin roles such as: • • Site Provisioning Security Permissions for users and groups Development Team • • New features and program management while adhering to standards.

Site Provisioning Security Permissions for users and groups * Indicates Change Key Governance Points • Center of Excellence (Non-IT Individuals) • Executive Involvement • Ongoing End User Interaction • Reporting & Auditing • Agile Development • Revisit @spsnashville Best Practices • • Determine initial principles and goals. The governance committee should develop a governance vision, policies, and standards that can be measured to track compliance and to quantify the benefit to your organization. For example, your plan should identify service delivery requirements for both technical and business aspects of your SharePoint deployment. Classify your business information. Organize your information according to an existing taxonomy, or create a custom taxonomy that includes all the information that supports your business solution. After your information is organized, design an information architecture to manage it. Then, determine the most appropriate IT services to support it. @spsnashville Best Practices • • Develop an education strategy. The human element is, after the governance plan, the most important ingredient in the success or failure of a SharePoint deployment. A comprehensive training plan should show how to use SharePoint according to the standards and practices that you are implementing and explain why those standards and practices are important. Your plan should cover the kinds of training required for specific user groups and describe appropriate training tools. For example, your IT department might maintain a frequently asked questions (FAQ) page about its SharePoint service offerings, or your business division might provide online training that shows how to set up and use a new document management process. Develop an ongoing plan. Successful governance is ongoing. The governance committee should meet regularly to review new requirements in the governance plan, reevaluate and adjust governance principles, and resolve conflicts among business divisions for IT resources. The committee should provide regular reports to its executive sponsors to promote accountability and to help enforce compliance across your organization. Although this process seems complicated, its goals are to increase the return on your investment in SharePoint, take full advantage of the usefulness of your SharePoint solution, and improve the productivity of your organization.
