requirements and prioritize

FUN!

How did we get there? Phased approach (Big bang deployments usually also end up with a big bang)

What can/can’t we do HOW DOES SHAREPOINT 2010 HANDLE IT IN THE API’S

Manage the business expectations

What helped us We knew SharePoint 2010 / 2013 We built/coached the deployed solutions on 2010

We defined the processes with the customer

BUT Knowledge is power only to the extent that it is organized into a definite plan of action and directed towards a definite aim

DEMO

It works... So what? How do we execute that on an existing solution

How do we migrate from the FTC to the CAM model

Do we still have business value at that point?

Replace Assets Remove branding using FTC model. Deploy branding with CAM model

Consider SharePoint a file system to deploy Use Powershell instead of UI to take care of timeouts

Replace Web Parts and Controls Replace with pre-configured out of the box web parts

Replace with App part instances Embedded JavaScript

Site Columns and Content Types XML Declared Site Columns and Content Types have no known solution at the moment.

FTC Declared Site Coluns and Content Types are fine We are working on it \\15\Templates\

Features\FeatureA

WSP package

Configuration database

Content Type A

Content Type B

Content Type C

<<has reference in manifest.xml>>

XML

<<Provisioned content types And site columns

have dependency on element xml files>> Feature with

element files for content type and

site column defintion

You are really in trouble when You are using site definitions You are using custom field types You need to move from publishing sites to non publishing sites
