What to Consider: Description
Site Management Can site owners change the “Look & Feel” of a Site? Are they controlled?
Are they managed by the IA?
Unused Sites What happens to unused sites? What rules can be set up to manage
unused sites?
Site Templates Are there site templates available? Who has access to them? How can
they be used?
Site Requests How do users request for a site? Is self-service an option?
App Catalog/App Store Will your users/admins/owners have access to the app store? Will you
provide your team with an internal app catalog? What apps should be
allowed for download?
Communities Management Who will oversee/monitor SharePoint Community Sites? What kind of
gifted badges should be created? Should they be consistent across
Community Sites? What categories will be allowed?
Social Policy & Strategy To Newsfeed or not to Newsfeed. What about Yammer? What’s
appropriate vs. not appropriate?
