Editor's Notes
The point of this slide is to provide a brief a simplistic view of what we set out to do – and below the line some of the technologies we’ve used to enable this to happen
SharePoint is a blank canvas with a huge palette of options and functions – it’s deliberately designed to be so, to allow you to use it in a thousand different ways. What this means in reality though, as we’ve seen in other activities, you need to tweak it to suit the particular thing you wish to use it for.
When SharePoint is used by an organization without controls in place to prevent users from randomly creating sub-sites and Document Libraries without considering what they will contain and how their content will be managed. From SharePoint Sprawl by Don Lueders Symptoms Information silos - difficult to find or discover content Creation of “document graveyards” Duplication of effort/content Problems are magnified for individuals working on multiple different teams SharePoint 2007 has been a runaway success, offering Office-centricity and ease-of-use to workers interested in storing and sharing information. However, its ease-of-use is also a snare and a delusion, in many cases fostering uncontrolled proliferation of thousands of SharePoint sites that have different navigation, taxonomy, and security models .

So the approach we talk about is here is designed to be a balanced approach between encouraging participation but still putting appropriate controls in place to avoid SharePoint Sprawl
The point of this slide is to prick the SharePoint bubble and look at the main pieces in isolation
*This is equivalent to Full Control however with ability to change site themes and create new groups removed ** This is our suggestion to facilitate cross-organization collaboration and information-sharing
The point of this slide is to say that the building of the site or feature is the easy bit in comparison to actually getting people using it.
