Successful Project Approaches
Why Best Practices?
� Do we really want chaos?
� Failure: Any SharePoint implementation that does not meet its full potential within a company
� Objectives: o Define and implement effective techniques
o Provide clarity and direction with confidence
o Best managed SharePoint implementation possible
o Maximized ROI on SharePoint investment (User and Stakeholder adoption)
� Phases: o Defining
o Planning
o Implementation
o Management
Defining
Know who needs to come forth…
� Who should participate?
o CIOs
o Business Managers
o Information Architects
o Information Owners
o Information Users
o Project Managers
Visionaries are an excellent choice!
Defining
Know what you need to know…
� Current view
o Existing systems
o Document processes
o Identify pain points
� Expand the view
o Include the business users
o Users tend to know more about their work than their managers
o Utilize surveys, interviews, etc.
o Identify the types of information and any data relationships
o Private, shared, departmentalized, etc.

Integrated document management, recordsmanagement, and web content management with policies and workflow
Planning
In the beginning…
� Understand Your Content o Items identified during the defining phase
o Documents and other media types
o File shares and Third-party repositories
� Know Your Optionso SharePoint provides a broad set of functions for different types of solutionso Relate options to needs identified during the defining phaseo Plan what you want your sites to do o List and attack your priorities using a phased approach
� Leverage SharePoint Extensibilityo Are all SharePoint capabilities optimal for company?
o Examine third-party solutions (Nintex, KnowledgeLake, Brightworks)
o Connectors available for other document management, repositories
o May consider custom .NET development
Planning
Be prepared for change and have a plan to manage it …
� Expect Changeo Businesses grow and evolve, thus so do processes
o Prepare for new content, periodic facelifts, and reorganization of the site structure.
o Technology continuously offers new options
Governance is a best practice!
� Governanceo Information manageability
o Administration, security, policies
o Capacity management
o Monitoring & reporting
o SLAs
o Support
o Tools
o Development
People
ProcessTechnology
Planning
Governance requires a balance in thinking…
� Best practiceo Governance should assist users and not get in their way
o Focus on vision and long range goals
o Keep everything transparent and over communicate
o Invite input, suggestions, and criticism
Planning
Classify your information…
� Information Architecture Plan
o Understand your data types, definitions, users, and views
o Keep focused on the business users and stakeholders� Document user types, user processes, and personalization� Plan your data buckets, based upon business needs and processes
o Data is useless if lost� Define high level taxonomy and metadata terms� Keep track of concepts, terms, and properties� Critical to navigation and search planning
o Keys to success� Proactive process� Vision based upon specific business goals� Plan for change!
Planning
Organize your information architecture…
� Taxonomy Plan
o Plan site hierarchy
� Site standardization, site definitions
o Plan and Templatize document libraries and lists
� Metadata, content types, site columns
� Information management policies
• Auditing, records management, expiration
o Site navigation
o Content deployment
� Content approval, publishing, archival
o Search
� Sources, scope, best bets, faceted, federated
o Processes
� Workspaces, workflows, document management, system integration, deployment
Planning
� Taxonomy Best Practices
o In general:
� Keep your focus on the business and not the technology
� Separate site, navigation, data, process, and search taxonomies
o Define site columns at site collection level not per list or library
� Per library means each instance is treated as separate crawled property index
o Do not plan site hierarchy to mimic file structures
� Deep site structure results in data being treated less relevant
� Alternative: create link driven menu
o Be careful in defining metadata
� Large metadata-based lists can dominate search results
o Maximize use of automatic metadata (titles, descriptions)
� Avoid simple titles and irrelevant titles
o Consider your data source
� External sources mean different metadata and results
� Consider splitting the indexes and use federated search
Planning
The need to protect information…
� Security & Isolation:
o Leverage web applications and site collections
o Granular control available at individual sites, lists, and list items
o User groups
o SharePoint groups
o No nesting
o Do not add individual users to a site, use SharePoint groups instead
o Use SharePoint Groups when securing objects
o Simplifies administration
o Active directory groups
o Can be added to SharePoint groups
o Can be nested within other AD groups
o Avoid deep nested active directory groups, can causes performance issues
o Permissions
o Define at site collection level, override at lower levels as needed
o Leverage custom permissions for more granular control
Planning
Other considerations…
� Content Typeso Plan for themo Use them for workflows, templates, auditing, metadata, searcho Promote data consistency
� Customizationo Branding is important at times, configuration vs. customizationo SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio?o Understand publishing & non-publishing sites (WCM)
� Workflowo SharePoint out-of-the-box capabilitieso SharePoint Designer o Visual Studioo 3rd party options
Planning
� Capacity Planning
o Document both existing and future data requirements
o Document planned business usage
o Estimate various capacity requirements (disk space, server load, bandwidth)
� Well known guidelines helpful in early planning
� Formulas available for estimation
o Other Dependencies
� Software configuration (IIS, SharePoint)
� Customization
� User load
� Network traffic
� Physical Hardware
� System Architecture
Planning
� Some Capacity Planning Best Practices
o Document your capacity planning strategy early and adjust as needed� Number of users, requests, sites, documents, and data sizes.
� For search: number of content sources, indexes, and index sizes.
� Review and adapt changes as needed (typically a yearly basis)
o Early estimates can be based upon well known guidel ineso 1,000 users yield one request per second (RPS)
o Plan for max 20k users per web front end server
o Plan for n+1 web front end servers
o Use separate instance of SQL Server per 5 TB of data
o Keep content database size under 100GB� If planning to use stsadm keep sizes under 15 GB
o Try to observe SharePoint recommended limits� Lists typically best under 2k items
� Larger lists possible, but requires planning
Planning
We need to protect our investment…
� Monitoro Performance
o High availability
o Site usage
o Search Tuning
o Auditing
� Backup & Recoveryo Content database isolation
o Multiple content DBs
o Size limits
o SLA restoration times
� Disaster Recoveryo Cold vs warm storage
o SQL mirroring
Implementation
The need to discover…
� Search Best Practices
o Plan for ease of discovery (success depends upon taxonomy plan)
o Use managed properties
� Administratively managed word associations (author = writer)
� Best bets
� Noise words
o Design search infrastructure for flexibility and scalability
o Keep search database defragmented
o Place search database on separate spindle
o Monitor the search server
� Look for input/output contentions
� Slow crawls
o Monitor search requests
� Search results can give clues to how users are attempting to locate information
Implementation
The need to paint a picture…
� Publishing Portal Best Practices
o Optimize query operations
� Follow guidelines for optimal sizes for lists and libraries
� Make query-driven web parts efficient
� Consider indexes for lists and libraries
o Plan for a separate authoring and publishing environment
o Do not modify the publishing site directly
� Content job will overwrite
o Leverage caching
� Disk-based caching, ASP.NET output caching, SharePoint object caching
�
o Layout pages are for structure, not functionality
Implementation
Tune and optimize…
� Operational Best Practiceso 64 bit rules!
o At least 2GB RAM per processor for web, 4GB RAM per processor for SQL Server
o Use gigabit network interface cards for traffic between web and database servers
o Consider separate NICs to separate user requests and database server traffic
� Windows Servero Place logs on non-system drive
o Tune Internet Information Server (IIS) as needed
o Avoid web garden setting
o Windows 2003 vs 2008
� SQL Servero Do not skimp on disk space
o Place content DBs, tempDB, and logs on separate spindles
o RAID 10 best performance, RAID 5 best capacity
o Direct storage vs storage area networks (SAN)
o SQL Server 2005 vs 2008
Management
Protect your investment…
� SharePoint Managemento Implement site quota templates, alerts
o Built-in reports
o 3rd party solutions (Nintex)
� Auditingo Plan very carefully
o Use event logs for daily business
o Only enable tracing for troubleshooting
� Monitoringo Perfmon.exe
o Microsoft Operations Manager 2005
o Systems Center Operation Manager 2007
� Backup & Recoveryo Manageable backups (<15GB)
o Central administration (manual)
o Stsadm.exe tool (manual or automated)
o Large backups
� SQL Server backup tools
� Third party backup tools
