Congratulations! You are now a site manager... now what?

You've done your Simple Site Planning. Your stakeholders and champions are looking to you for direction. Your End Users are just waiting to tell you why it won't work.

Where's the plan, how are you going to communicate your vision of your SharePoint site?

Brain storming tools such as Mind Manager are an indispensible resource when it comes to planning and documenting the structure of your site.

What are you going to do with all those interviews you did when deciding what is needed on the site? How are you going to plan your site's Information Architecture? What are you going to show your stakeholders when they ask for a progress report? Where are you going to store the configuration settings for all of your site's components? How are you going to document everything so you can hand this project off and get on with the rest of your life?

 Documentation of your SharePoint project is seldom talked about but is essential when creating an environment that can expand as your data and information structures grow. This workshop will give you the tools and techniques needed for documenting your site's growth plans, while acting as a tool for generating that documentation.

In this live on line, hands-on workshop, we will walk through the process of creating a Mind Map to hold a site plan of your entire SharePoint site, including:

• Sites and subsites
• Lists/Libraries
• Configuration settings
• Security settings
• Workflows
• Content types
• Documentation for historical reference

At the conclusion of the workshop, you will have the knowledge needed to construct a living document that can be handed off as a working diagram of your site's information architecture with all of the documentation needed to manage the site.

Resources used in this workshop:

• Mind Manager
• Reusable templates for planning lists, libraries and content types
• Base worksheet to start the planning process
