CHAPTER 3 Governance Planning One of the hardest parts of performing effective governance is getting started. This chapter will describe the steps that need to occur to go from "We want a SharePoint Site" to "We have a Plan." While the steps outlined are intended to be in chronological order, there are plenty of valid reasons to choose a different sequence for certain items. Specifically, consider the steps that happen before and after you establish the governance team. Do you establish your vision, goals, and scope before building the team or as part of forming the team? Questions like these can best be answered by considering the culture of your orga- nization. Don't assume that the process outlined in this chapter is the only process that can work.
