Il-governanza hija Pjan Marketing Too

Ir-raġuni aħna jqattgħu daqstant ħin (jew jekk, xorta waħda) working out governance plans is because we want the SharePoint solution to be as effective as possible. We want good infrastructure and rules to keep it humming and safe in case of disaster. We want good security processes to both properly secure the environment but also make it reasonable to manage. We want a good information architecture that will stand the test of time, ideally managing to survive a major organizational change in the company.

Biex jinkiseb dan l-għan mixtieq, dokument governanza u pjan jista jiddevolvu fis mazz ta '"thou għandu" u "thou m'għandhomx tal-", kif fil-:

  • Thou m'għandhomx joħolqu grupp sigurtà SharePoint; użu AD minflok.
  • Thou m'għandhomx joħolqu folders fil-libreriji dokument; użu kontenut ta 'tipi u l-fehmiet minflok.
  • Thou għandhom joħolqu tipi kollha ta 'kontenut dokument bbażata off tip speċifiku bażi custom.
  • Thou m'għandhomx joħolqu tassonomija informazzjoni bbażata off chart lum org kumpanija.

"Thou għandhom" u "thou m'għandhomx" ċertament għandhom il-post tagħhom fil-pjan ta 'governanza.

A more successful governance plan will also have a strong marketing angle. It should sell and justify itself to the maximum extent possible. A truly successful governance plan relies upon the voluntary cooperation of all SharePoint users. (Hemm każijiet marġinali fejn il-kooperazzjoni Komunitarja mhux meħtieġa, bħal meta SharePoint hija użata minn numru żgħir ħafna ta 'utenti ġestiti sewwa; I’m sure you can think of others). If the user community doesn’t buy into your governance plan then it will be partially successful at best.

I use that word “buy” deliberately. The community will buy the governance plan if it’s fundamentally sound and you go to some effort to sell them on it. Selling leads to marketing and that’s why I think that a governance plan should be considered a marketing plan too. Convince your end users that they need to follow the governance plan and they will voluntarily follow it. If you can get a critical mass of people following the governance plan then the plan’s benefits follow and you’ll have a stronger environment for it.

Soluzzjoni: Kumpilazzjoni Audience MOSS Iżżid Nru Membri ġodda

Bottom line: jekk inti tixtieq li tuża proprjetà profil f'regola għall-ħolqien udjenzi, il-propjetà għandha tkun viżibbli għal "kulħadd."

I was working with a co-worker yesterday and he was building out a MOSS audience based on a custom user profile property in MOSS. F'dan il-każ, l-proprjetà udjenza huwa msemmi "SITECD" u permezz tal-konvenzjoni, ħwienet 3 Kodiċi karattru. Huwa kien iddefinixxa l-udjenza u regola li qal li jekk "SITECD ugwali" ABG "", mbagħad jinkludi li l-profil utent fl-udjenza.

Huwa twaqqaf profil utent wieħed ma 'dak il-valur u kkompilata l-udjenza, but MOSS simply wouldn’t add that user. I noticed that the privacy setting for that profile was set to “me only” (l-aktar forma restrittivi) and I remembered reading somewhere that property profiles used in rules must be visible by “everyone”. He made that change and that solved the problem.

The really funny thing about this is that I “remembered” reading about this. It was nagging at me this morning for some reason and I realized that I had written a chapter in this book, MOSS Explained: An Information Worker’s Deep Dive into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and that I covered this point in the very chapter I wrote :). I would have thought that every word I wrote in that chapter would be seared into my memory.

Matt Morse writes this up in beautiful detail here and I referenced it in the chapter: http://blogs.pointbridge.com/Blogs/morse_matt/Pages/Post.aspx?_ID=50

Bl-użu MSDN (u oħrajn) Forums għas-Sostenn SharePoint

I tista 'tikteb fuq fit-tul kbir dwar forums MSDN, etikett, ismijiet konvenzjonijiet, tfittxija, eċċ. I may do that, fil-fatt. I wanted to point out a small thing which may help people have a better overall experience.

Stajt ġiet dan l-aħħar tinforma lin-nies li jekk inti tmexxi fis xi tip ta 'problema ma l-ambjent SharePoint tiegħek, proġett ta 'żvilupp jew attività oħra relatata SharePoint, post a question to the forums earlier in your action chain rather than later. I know for myself that when I have a problem, a number of potential solutions present themselves right away. I order these potential solutions in terms of likelihood, applicability and how easy they are to investigate. I go through that list and by the time I’ve gotten to #10, Jien tagħmel bidliet reġistru ma 'kodiċi "/ foo / bar / almostThere / isThisIt / noThisIsNotIt / iCantBelieveIAmDoingThis / finallyThere!"Fuq il-parir ta 'blog tinstab fuq paġna 8 of a Google search. When that doesn’t work, I finalment post kwistjoni għall MSDN (e.g. hawn: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/threads).

I suggest that you reverse that approach. Post the forums much earlier in your investigation because:

  • Huwa ħieles lilek xorta.
  • M'hemm l-ebda SLA garantit (li jien konxju, inqas).
  • Għalhekk, hija tista 'tieħu żmien twil għall-persuni li jirrispondu.
  • Nies spiss do jirrispondu eventwalment.
  • Jekk int stenna sakemm 2 jew 3 jum wara l-ewwel problema asfaltati, int frantic għal rispons u forums mhumiex post tajjeb għall-għajnuna ta 'emerġenza (sakemm int xortik tajba).

Allura, bażikament, huwa faċli u ħieles u inti għandek xi sparatura tajba fil jkollna xi tip ta 'tweġiba, iżda se tieħu filwaqt li tikseb din ir-risposta (darb'oħra, sakemm int xortik tajba).

I used to think that I should hold off on looking for community help because I don’t want to waste someone’s time asking for help when I could find it out myself. Some forum moderators and active participants may feel that way, imma jien ma (inqas, I ma jħossux li mod aktar). I don’t see any downside. The worst case is that you post a question and then answer it yourself some time later, possibly “wasting” some one’s time. I don’t see a big risk in that and there’s value in the researching of questions like that in any event.

Nota Żgħar About Microsoft Online Servizzi passwords u l-Amministrazzjoni

I bdiet taħdem mal-Microsoft Small Business Produttività Online Suite diversi xhur ilu, but now I have some better reason to be using it.

Jien għadhom jaħdmu tiegħi mod madwaru, so I tista 'tkun jkollna xi wħud mill-ħażin terminoloġija, imma bażikament hemm żewġ interfaces ewlenin: iċ-ċentru amministrazzjoni u s-servizzi nfushom.

Is-sistema kienet javżak me li kelli għall-bidla password tiegħi, so I went ahead and did that. That allowed me to proceed and work with the services part (SharePoint, email, u laqgħa live). Madankollu, meta I marru għall-iskrin amministrazzjoni, ma let me fl minn me javżak li ma kinitx taħseb password tiegħi kienet korretta.

The behavior was a little odd. If I entered the password I *thought* it should be, it would blank out the userid and the password and tell me the password or userid was incorrect. If I entered a blatantly wrong password, ikun tell me-istess, iżda jżomm l-qasam ID utent intatt.

Stajt ġiet playing madwar ma 'dan għal ftit ftit u finalment imsejħa (iva, fuq Ħadd filgħodu). Oerhört, sħabi, Ben, answered the phone right away. U, I ma jkollhom jidħlu karta ta 'kreditu.

Long storja qasira, the administration center password uses different password rules than the services password. Admin password must contain alpha, numeric and special characters. When I changed my admin password the first time, I ma segwiex dik ir-regola (lanqas ma twissi lili!). I was able to change it to a valid administration password and got back in.

Jekk ikollok dak it-tip ta 'problema fil-futur, inti taf dak li ħadem għalija u wieħed jittama li se jaħdmu għalik.

SharePoint bħala Operating System Business

Minn mindu Smajt kwotazzjoni, Allegatament matul Q&A sessjoni ma Steve Ballmer Marzu 2007, I’ve sort of been holding my breath for something to happen. The quote was basically this: “SharePoint is an operating system for business applications.” Knowing a fair bit about SharePoint and a middling bit about operating systems, I thought it was really apt. I’m holding my breath, waiting for companies to really buy into that concept and start to build applications within the SharePoint “operating system.”

Stajt ddedikat ħafna tal-ħsieb li dan is-suġġett din is-sena (tmur lura għall tiegħi 2009 tbassir) u jien ser jitkellmu dwar dan fil- Mejju 2 SharePoint is-Sibt avveniment f'Washington.

Dan huwa astratt preżentazzjoni tiegħi, intitolat "L-użu tal-Pjattaforma SharePoint biex jibnu l-applikazzjonijiet tan-Negozju Vertikali":

"Orizzontali?"" Vertikali?"What do dawn il-kliem jfisser f'kuntest SharePoint? SharePoint, kif spiss nisimgħu, huwa "pjattaforma" għall-applikazzjonijiet tal-bini. Dan il-fatt huwa spiss mitlufa fuq magħna mill-hekk imsejħa karatteristiċi pjattaforma orizzontali, bħall-ġestjoni tad-dokumenti u tfittxija, are so easy and useful in and of themselves. Madankollu, SharePoint huwa saħansitra aktar qawwija u se terġa 'lura aktar valur meta wżati biex joħolqu applikazzjonijiet vertikali imfassla biex jilħqu jum tan-negozju tiegħek "għall-ħtiġijiet kuljum. Din is-sessjoni jiddeskrivi kif jistgħu jinġabru karatteristiċi pjattaforma f'soluzzjoni verticalized tuża eżempju reali negozju dinja - proċess ta 'ġestjoni kwotazzjoni bejgħ u gateway klijent. Għan tal-kelliem huwa li tiftaħ għajnejn tiegħek għall-possibbiltajiet tal-pjattaforma SharePoint u li jwieżen karatteristiċi tiegħu pjattaforma orizzontali li toħloq soluzzjonijiet negozju speċjalizzati għall-organizzazzjoni vertikali tiegħek.

Jekk dan is-suġġett ma float dgħajsa tiegħek, there are a bunch of other good topics. And DC is a great venue in and of itself to visit.

Reġistrazzjoni jiftaħ dan il-Ħamis, 04/16. Keep on top of the site and grab a seat before it’s too late 🙂

Minuti Kanadiżi

Din id-darba aħħar ġimgħa, I kien f'Montreal, jattendu l rakkomandat ħafna Summit SharePoint 2009. I gave a 3.5 hour tutorial on installing and customizing SharePoint. It was a scary subject on many levels. I’m not really a SharePoint admin, imma naf biżżejjed biex jagħti tutorja dwar is-suġġett. (Thankfully, Geoff Schaller minn Għanijiet Software fl-Awstralja, fost ftit oħrajn, kien fil-folla li tirrispondi għal ċerti mistoqsijiet fil-fond [I do not know dak li jitniżżlu fil-baħar stabbiliti hemmhekk, imma għandna bżonn xi wħud hawn fl-Istati Uniti]).

Iżda, back to many levels of scariness… It had a lot of potential to be very boring. I actually installed WSS and then upgraded it to MOSS. In front of a room full of people. Canadian poeple. There were long 5 u 7 minute gaps where we were watching the installation process chug along. I needed to fill that time with something useful and interesting. I’m not sure I succeeded.

Fl-aħħarnett, it was loooong. Three and one half hours. That’s a long presentation. I made a little joke of it, saying “We have a long presentation ahead of us. Three and one half hours. That’s 210 minuti. And I don’t even know how many minutes that is in Canadian.”

Kulħadd laughed u bħala riżultat, Montreal is officially on my Good Places list 🙂

Anki li kieku ma laughed Joke tiegħi, I would love Montreal. I try very hard to be open minded and not take my cues from South Park, imma jien nammetti, li chagrin tiegħi, that I had no idea how great is the metropolis of Montreal. I can’t wait to go back in a few months, meta huwa ftit aktar sħan, li jżuru mill-ġdid.

Fuq tip ta 'nota relatata, I sib ukoll permezz Erik Swenson ta ewwel preżentazzjoni pubblika intitolata "IA u Branding Proċess: Skeċċijiet għal wireframes lil Disinni Hi-fedeltà. " (Erik huwa EMC kollega tiegħi). Check out the abstract here: http://www.sharepointsummit2009.com/conference_day2.htm. I anke rreġistrati lilha għall għalih. I tried several times for some “action shots” and zoomed in on him when he paused to drink some water. I didn’t always succeed, but I tried 🙂
