Extending your Information Architecture to Microsoft TeamsChristian Buckley
Session from SharePointFest Seattle, Aug 22nd, 2019, presented by Microsoft RD + MVP Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet). Content updated from previous versions of this session.
One of the collaboration strengths of Microsoft Teams is its relatively simple hierarchy, focused on improving small team (inner loop) collaboration and communication. However, organizations still need to be thoughtful about how they align their broader information architecture (IA).
This session outlines the core tenets of your SharePoint IA, how these translate across Microsoft Teams, and how Teams impacts your long-term IA strategy.

How to implement SharePoint in your organizationSPC Adriatics
Speaker: Joško Ivankov;
SharePoint has a large number of options, which is great because it covers a lot functionality, but it also presents a problem in choosing the right functionality for a particular purpose, and also the order of implementation. In this session, based on our practical experience in many implementations of intranet (T-HT, Podravka, HEP, Zagreb airport…) and business applications on SharePoint, we will propose the best way for the introduction of SharePoint in your organization. You will find out quick wins in implementing SharePoint that users will love, and how to set up the basic structure and integration for future (sure) growth of SharePoint implementation.
This SharePoint Power User training is designed for individuals who need to learn the fundamentals of managing SharePoint sites. Is your organization using (or thinking about) SharePoint? SharePoint Power User Course will equip you to know how to be more productive and work more efficiently in SharePoint.

IRMS UG Principles of Retention in Microsoft 365Joanne Klein
There's only 4 of them, but they're important. Really important.
This session will talk about why it's essential for Records Managers and Information Management teams to have an authoritative understanding of the principles. They inform the retention and deletion processes and actions which are the technical underpinning of your Information Governance/Records Management (IG/RM) implementation. This is what ultimately determines the retention and deletion actions taken on each piece of content.
Understanding the principles of retention is an important prerequisite to a holistic IG/RM design and implementation. It can help ensure you are deleting content when you no longer need/require it and retaining content for as long as you are required to meet your corporate governance requirements and your legal, business, and regulatory obligations.

Innovation occurs and is supported within an ecosystem of interdependent mechanisms, components, and values. When misaligned, the innovation ecosystem can become unstable. This is particularly evident when the competencies and components of an innovation stack is developed, implemented, and evaluated in isolation.
Assessing whether an organization is ready involves evaluating the interactions between all related components. This involves the synergistic dependencies among the following tools, processes, assets, and competencies. The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) lifecycle highlights the competencies, services, and functions needed to plan, dessign, transition, operate, and continuously improve project, product, and service delivery with an emphasis on the end user.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

This publication is the 2nd in a series. The first publication, "Enterprise SharePoint Program -
Brochure', provides a high level overview of the program and description of how SharePoint and
Microsoft Teams are used. That publication closes with an explanation of the process for submitting a
request for a new site, and the roadmap for validating and approving the requirements during the
build & implementation.
This publication, "SharePoint Design & Configuration Best Practices & Guidelines", provides a high
level overview of the design, build, and configuration roadmap for SharePoint, MSTeams, and
Document Libraries. The roadmap is depicted in the following bullet points.

4. STORAGE
How assets are shared extends beyond where the
storage 'lives.'
Location also influences what features, tools, and
applications are available to help manage it. This also
influences costs.
Assets stored within the SharePoint Framework
(Microsoft, Teams, OneDrive, Exchange, etc.) are able
to leverage shared resources, tools, features,
applications, and settings. This makes these assets
easier to manage and secure.
Each application is typically suited for specific use
cases. Each application also stores in specific locations.
This is the backbone of document storage.
The user interface includes the Communication &
Collaboration sites discussed earlier.
How we use and manage assets/documents is a primary
consideration when deciding where it is stored. The storage
used influences how we share and manage
documents/assets that live there.

5. SHARING & COLLABORATION
I N N O V A T E V A N C O U V E R
User experience when sharing and collaborating
on documents and assets is not equal across
applications.
How departments share and collaborate is influenced
by where the documents/assets 'live.' Each application
and site type has it's best practices and use cases to
consider.
Reading previous pages, you already know how each
of the application and SharePoint Site types are often
used. These influence what permissions are readily
available for sharing and how long that sharing link
lasts.
Sharing by Application:
Each application is build for different user
requirements.
Not only is OneDrive not intended for department or
external collaboration, the link is configured to expire
in 7 days when shared externally.
SharePoint communication sites are configured and
used very differently than SharePoint collaboration
sites.
Just remember, permissions are passed on and
inherited by associated sites, pages, and assets.
A communication site is public facing. As a result, it is
not a site that is recommended for use for ongoing &
active collaboration or sharing of editable assets.
Each site has storage limits. Departments should
differentiate where its 'active' vs. 'archive' content
lives in order to maximize use of available storage
3
This solution adds ext-guests as members to an
MSTeams site to support time limited collaboration
on all assets/documents within the site.
Noting, that in most instances adding an ext-guest
to a folder (instead of site), to collaborate, is more
often suggested.
The Site and Library Structure Models have been
identified to scale. These can be reused and configured
by each department as needed. Collaboration with
external vendors also has a model that can be
borrowed, and emphasizes the the components
depicted in the graphic.

6. ACCESS & PERMISSIONS
The goal of site, library, and asset management
is to make it as simple as possible. Automate
what is possible.
Support users to configure settings and
permissions where required. Identify best
practices and guidelines to support alignment
across the enterprise.
Access & Permissions are influenced by the site(s)
structure, where documents/assets live, and the
type of site(s) used. Managing access, permissions,
and sharing is different if the individual is already a
'member' or 'external' to the location where the
document/asset lives.
A scalable approach is needed that is easy to
manage and setup. The following best practices
have been identified for designing, implementing,
and managing access & permissions.
Best Practices for Applying Permissions and
Access:
I N N O V A T E V A N C O U V E R
Apply permissions at the site level. Add members.
Manage assets and documents within that site that
they should have access to.
When sharing, can do this at the file level. But if
collaboration is ongoing, can also share at the
folder level.
Just remember to only add assets they should have
access to!
Permissions are assigned at the site level. But they
may also need to be configured at the library,
folder, and file level.
Particularly when sharing and providing access to
team members that are not also site members.
Permissions begin with identifying who can 'edit' or
'view' content on the site.
Additional permissions that can be established with
sharing or sensitivity labels include 'can share',
'can download,' 'can forward,' and others.

7. REFINING THE DOCUMENT LIBRARY STRUCTURE
Sites and libraries are often designed, and
structured, to support the workflows of the
team/ department that will be using them.
More complex workflows, or multiple
departments, often require a structure that is
different than a single team or department.
The assets managed and stored in the library
have a significant influence on permissions,
structure, and design of the library & site.
Financial, legal, regulatory, and risk
management assets require rigorous security
settings and protocols.
The document library structure is designed taking
into consideration the following requirements:
Who will be accessing the library:
What assets will be stored in the library:
I N N O V A T E V A N C O U V E R
These may seem unrelated, but using standard
naming conventions can make assets easier to
locate as well as secure.
Structure of libraries and folder also support
the application of metadata, permissions, and
security settings.
Most users do not think of either of these, but
they are both critical in managing documents
and assets throughout their lifecycle.
Some assets are stored 'indefinitely' whereas
others only hold value for a short time, and are
deleted as soon as the project is over.
The records management taxonomy (finance,
legal, regulatory, etc.) influence the retention,
security, and permissions requirements.

Metadata is data about data. More
specifically, it involves data or text that helps
us understand assets, it's type, how they are
used, where they are stored,
This information can be used to:
Metadata thus helps:
METADATA
I N N O V A T E V A N C O U V E R
Retention Label: Identifies how long an asset
should be retained, and what happens after that
time period has ended.
Sensitivity Label: Further refines permissions
beyond edit/view (share, download, classification,
etc.)
Metadata can be viewed and managed at the following
levels: Site, Folder, File, Asset, & Labels.
SharePoint Labels are metadata that identify how a
document/asset is to be managed. Thoughtfully
identifying and adding descriptive metadata to your
assets makes it easier to identify and apply the labels
that are needed.

Sensitivity Labels
Retention Labels
Columns within the document library can also be
configured to display metadata that is important to
the department. The following are often emphasized,
depending on the type of assets/ documents being
managed:
The above are emphasized so that users can manually
add labels that are not already applied at the site and
library levels.

11. Architecture,
Taxonomy,
Structure, and
Access requirements.
Steps 1-6 in this publication describe a high level
roadmap for designing your department's assets/
site structure from a systems view. Ideally,
consideration of what retention & sensitivity labels
will be incorporated into the:
When Designing New Sites
Organizational structure, and records management
Taxonomy models, are critical inputs into
identifying the structure & configuration of the
department's sites.
Designing the department's site(s) structure needs
to take into consideration existing workflows,
structures, roles, and security requirements.
Mapping the site structure against these will make
managing assets that live in these locations, and
applying labels, considerably easier.
APPLYING LABELS
Labels can then be applied at the site and library
levels. Everything added inherits those labels. This
is the easiest solution.
Labels can also be applied by users and content
owners within the library. This can be done as
content/assets are created. File level labels need to
align with the labels applied to the site and folder
levels.
Identify when many assets are deployed to a
department,
Associate these assets into a Hub n Spokes
Structure, and
Help the department to apply relevant labels and
metadata, etc., when needed.
When Sites Already Exist
If the sites have already been created, hopefully they
follow best practices discussed on previous pages.
Many sites/assets are being deployed in isolation. One
at a time. The roadmap for the SharePoint Program is
