DESCRIPTION
So you've heard about "Governance" from all angles in the SharePoint community-the fact that you need "People" to define "Policies", but what Processes are actually required to bring this to fruition? This session will discuss how to bring these three P's together by enforcing established Policies through Processes built using out-of-the-box SharePoint by the People (SharePoint IT Administrators and Site Owners). The session will cover what is feasible using native SharePoint 2010 functionality, and what to watch for to ensure you are planning for common challenges customers face.TRANSCRIPT

TODAY’S FOCUS AREAS FOR SHAREPOINT
GOVERNANCE
Information Governance
Application Management
IT Governance
IT governance of the software itself and the services you provide
Information governance of the content and information that users store in those services.
Application governance of the custom solutions you provide
GOVERNANCE AND SITE TYPES
• Standard administration interfaces
• Quotas, locks, permissions, records
management
• Powershell
• Administrative functions, Data
protection
• SharePoint services and features
• Managed metadata service for
classification
• ISV solutions for management
• SharePoint Designer, Visual Studio Manual Automated
GETTING THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB…
WHAT TO GOVERN IN SHAREPOINT?
• Best Practices: Quotas and Limits
• Content: Site lifecycle management
• Social or not?
Asset classification
• Security, Infrastructure and Web Application policies
• Service Level Agreement
Impact = Exposure If this leaks, will it hurt
my business?
Value = Availability If this isn’t available,
can my business run?
IT GOVERNANCE
Centrally Managed Locally
Managed
A successful IT service includes the following elements:
• A governing group defines the initial offerings, policies, and evaluates success of the service
• The policies you develop are communicated to your enterprise and are enforced
• Users are encouraged to use the service and not create their own solutions – installations are tracked
• Multiple services are offered to meet different needs in your organization
Software, Services, and
Sites are hosted and
managed centrally by a core
IT group
Software, Services, and Sites
are hosted and managed
locally by individual groups
SERVICE-LEVEL AGREEMENTS SHOULD
INCLUDE:
• Length of time and approvals necessary to create a site.
• Costs for users/departments.
• Operations-level agreement – which teams perform which operations and how frequently.
• Policies around problem resolution through a help desk.
• Negotiated performance targets for first load of a site, subsequent loads, and performance at remote locations.
• Availability, recovery, load balancing, and failover strategies.
• Customization policies.
• Storage limits for content and sites.
• How to handle inactive or stale sites.

SIMPLIFYING IT GOVERNANCE
IMPLEMENTATION WITH TECHNOLOGY
CONSIDER 3RD PARTY TOOLS TO:
• Centrally enforce limitations – plans and policies for
• Data Protection, Recovery, and Availability
• Audit Policies
• Permission management
• Scalability in Management
• Giving IT Teams the technology to manage thousands of users
• Terabytes of Content
• Millions of Audit Records
INFORMATION GOVERNANCE
Content is tagged with structured
metadata, permissions are tightly
controlled, content is archived or purged
per retention schedules.
Content is tagged only socially and
not tracked; permissions and
archiving are not controlled or
managed.
Appropriate for: • Structured content
• High-business-impact content
• Personal identifiable information
• Records
Appropriate for: • Low-business-impact
content
• Short-term projects
• Records
• Collaboration

QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN DESIGNING A SITE OR
SOLUTION:
• How will the site or solution be structured and divided into a set of site collections and sites?
• How will data be presented?
• How will site users navigate?
• How will search be configured and optimized?
• Is there content you specifically want to include or exclude from search?
• What types of content will live on sites?
• How will content be tagged and how will metadata be managed?
• Does any of the content on the sites have unique security needs?
• What is the authoritative source for terms?
• How will information be targeted at specific audiences?
• Do you need to have language- or product-specific versions of your sites?

INFORMATION ACCESS
Determine the rules or policies that you need to have in place for the following
types of items:
• Pages
• Lists
• Documents
• Records
• Rich media
• Blogs and Wikis
• Anonymous comments
• Anonymous access
• Terms and term sets
• External data
Information Management: Permissions and Audiences
How do I structure permissions in a
site?
How do I target content to specific
audiences?
Should I use Information Rights Management (IRM) to protect content?
IT Governance: Access
How do I make this content accessible to external users?
How do I make sure that only
people who need access have it?

Declare items records in bulk
Lock down non-document content,
like wikis
IN PLACE RECORDS & POLICIES CREATE SEPARATE RETENTION SCHEDULES FOR RECORDS
Different policies for records

APPLICATION MANAGEMENT
Determine customization types you want to allow, and how to manage them:
• Service level descriptions
• Processes for analyzing customizations
• Process for piloting and testing customizations
• Guidelines for packaging and deploying
customizations
• Guidelines for updating customizations
• Approved tools for development
• Who is responsible for ongoing code support
• Specific policies regarding each potential type of
customization (done through the UI or SD)
Customizations must adhere to
customization policy, deployments
and updates tested and rigorously
managed.
Rules about development
environments or customizations
are less rigid.
CUSTOMIZATIONS & BRANDING
• Isolate custom solutions: Sandbox Solutions
• Cannot use certain computer and network resources
• Cannot access content outside the site collection they are deployed in.
• Can be deployed by a site collection administrator.
• Governed: only a farm administrator can promote a sandboxed solution to run
directly on the farm in full trust.
• Master Pages and Page Layouts
• Themes
• To “Designer” or not to “Designer”
• Separate development, pre-production, and production environments (keep
these environments in sync)
CHALLENGES WITH SHAREPOINT
DEVELOPMENT
• Environment setup
• Platform learning curve
• Toolset support
• Team development
• Versioned releases

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
GOVERNANCE AND TRAINING
• Governance doesn't
work without user
adoption and
compliance.
• End-user training and
education, good content,
and search are keys to
user adoption.
• Document governance
plan.
GOVERNANCE STAKEHOLDERS
Form and use a governance group to create and maintain the policies and include the following roles:
• Information architects or taxonomists
• Compliance officers
• Influential information workers
• IT technical specialists
• Development leaders
• Trainers
• IT managers
• Business division leaders
• Financial stakeholders
• Executive stakeholders
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Governance is there to ensure IT solutions achieve business goals
• Start simple
• Training
• Keep it fresh
• Don’t have a policy unless you can enforce it
