The Governance Committee must be organised<\/strong><br \/>\nA governance committee includes people from the Business &amp; IT divisions of an organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Decide the SharePoint Elements to be covered<\/strong><br \/>\nSharePoint Elements that can be governed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Operational Management<\/li>\n<li>Technical Operations<\/li>\n<li>Site and Security Administration<\/li>\n<li>Content Administration<\/li>\n<li>Personal and Social Administration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Define and implement Rules &amp; Policies<\/strong><br \/>\nThe implementation includes the good writing of Rules &amp; Policies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Setting up Rights &amp; Permissions for Users\u00a0&amp; Groups<\/li>\n<li>Restrict Site Collection creation<\/li>\n<li>Setup content approval &amp; routing<\/li>\n<li>Setup Locks &amp; Quotas<\/li>\n<li>Set Document Versioning Policies<\/li>\n<li>Set Retention \/ Deletion Policies<\/li>\n<li>Restrict page customization &amp; usage of SharePoint Designer<\/li>\n<li>Setup workflows for automating approvals &amp; processes (using SharePoint Tool or a third party tool)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having a good communication\/adoption with users of those elements will drive higher productivity and less support calls for issues.<br \/>\n<strong>4. Drive &amp; Reinforce Governance<\/strong><br \/>\nRegular meetings are conducted by the Governance Committee to review governance, any necessary change to the Rules &amp; Policies is updated during this phase.<\/p>\n<p>Use the Best practices for governance plans:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Determine initial principles and goals<\/li>\n<li>Classify your business information<\/li>\n<li>Develop an education strategy<\/li>\n<li>Develop an ongoing plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Technet source: <a href=\"https:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/cc263356.aspx\">https:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/cc263356.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Governance and Teamwork is essential to smart implementation!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Collaboration.jpg\" alt=\"Collaboration\" width=\"250\" height=\"183\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Companies are struggling with SharePoint.
