Creating a Practical and Consumable SharePoint Governance Plan
The document is a presentation about creating an effective and practical governance plan for SharePoint. It discusses that governance plans should be aligned with business goals and existing policies. It also emphasizes engaging stakeholders, having the right conversations to answer key questions, and defining clear roles and responsibilities. Finally, it recommends that the governance plan and guidance be made consumable to users through things like quick guides, training, and small, just-in-time content chunks integrated into sites.
