Over the years, a certain mystery has developed concerning
SharePoint governance. But the whole thing is quite simple if
you follow the ground rules and avoid common misconceptions.

Myth #1: Business executives and managers should write
the plan
Not true. The scope of your plan should depend on the size

Building your site architecture
Users will usually ask for a team site, since that’s the most
