Common Questions?
• Is Governance Technology Specific?
• Can Technology Choices Drive Governance?
• True or False:
– If you aren’t focusing on or addressing problems within
the business, you will end up in the weeds.
• Do you think SharePoint, Yammer & OneDrive really need
governance?
• How do you get governance to work for you?
• How can our company make an impact?
What Does Governance Mean?
The Definition
The set of policies, roles, responsibilities, and processes that
control how an organization works together to achieve their
goals.
The Meaning:• An active people and business oriented process• An interactive model to solve problems• A tool that ensures business value and
continuous improvement!!!
Governance is NOT!
• Large binders of complicated policies, procedures, and standards
• Technology specific
IMPACTS OF OFFICE 365?
• In some ways, it simplifies Governance even further
• SharePoint and Exchange are primarily affected
• The biggest impact Office 365 has on Governance is sizing limits
• Data sprawl must be watched more carefully in O365 to avoid hitting capacity limits

Governance TeamYour governance policies should support your organization’s goals and be kept up-to-date as your organization’s needs change. 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.
Tactical Team
• Consists of 3 sub-teams that support the directives of the Strategy team. – Operations– Support– Developers
Want to take a guess on which will change?
Tactical Team Responsibilities
Operations Team
• Help Enforce Governance Plan
• Manage Routine Maintenance Tasks:
• Nightly Backups
• Usage Monitoring & Analysis
• Scheduled Task Validation
• Security Release & System Upgrades
Support Team
• 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.
• Develop customized & personalized solutions for departments & division sites.

* Indicates Change
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.
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.
Best Practices
• 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.
OneDrive for Business
• Sync & share documents• Collaborate on document security with individuals inside and
outside the company• Access content and information anywhere and from almost any
device• Version Control & Content life cycle • Manage access permissions• Access with native mobile client apps for windows 8 and ios.
Office Groups
• Public & Private Groups• Groups will have…
– Place to have conversations– Calendar– OneNote– Document Library– OneDrive for Business
• Stored in Azure AD (Exchange + SharePoint)• By default ANYONE can create them• Everyone can see all groups• Will replace the need for some Team Sites
Office 365 Governance
• No Recovery • When to use a Team site and when to use an Office Group• Public vs. Private• Subscriptions• Control who can create groups
– Disable Group Creation by User• Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -Identity test.com\
OwaMailboxPolicy-Default -GroupCreationEnabled $false
• Cleanup
If you don’t have a tool to utilize or a GOVERNANCE document to assist in managing OneDrive the next horror movie could be in the making!
