Demonstration
Site Structure for collaboration
• Group task• 10 minutes• Design a site structure
Scenario• “Three previously independent teams (Sales, Marketing
and Bid Management) have now come under a new manager named Sue. Sue wants these teams to collaborate together more closely and have better visibility of the activities they are each undertaking. Sue also wants to ensure that she can easily communicate to all team members easily and be confident that they read those communications. Lastly, Sue would like to be easily see everything that is happening across the three teams.”
This is our starting point
Possible alternative
Considerations that drive site structure
• Security• Ownership and Management• Content volume• Content Types• Audience
Technical Considerations• Number of items per view/list• Content Databases• Site Collection Limitations• Types of content• SharePoint 2010 features• Backup and Restore
Key takeaways• Two clicks to anything?• Think like a user (personas)• Involve real users• Undertake user testing• Don’t default to organisational structure• Balance business and technical considerations
