Because it’s actually quite easy to install Office SharePoint Server or Windows SharePoint Services, it’s also easy to skimp on planning and preparation. This week I noticed several articles which all provide useful pointers in their own way:
First, Mark at End User SharePoint has posted an article on Five Ways to Manage a SharePoint Site Collection with SharePoint. And if you subscribe to their weekly newsletter you will be able to download a Site Collection Management diagram soon.
Mark also mentions another good post from Andrea Kalli titled Top 20 Ways to Use SharePoint Effectively.
Robert Bogue has written a piece for the Intranet Journal called SharePoint Site Collection Governance. Again, a topic well worth thinking about and planning before starting your new implementation.
Paul Culmsee at Clever Workarounds has a new post called Why Do SharePoint Projects Fail which can also be played as a drinking game
