3 suggestions to start with document management practices on SharePoint?
They pointed 3 critical aspects when developing document management for SharePoint:
- Create taxonomy, first describing the high-level content type and associated attributes that the other content types can inherit from
- Define the Information Architecture; this is the layouts for the sites, document libraries, and document folders. This is critical as SharePoint has some performance limitations that need to be considered during the design phase
- Develop a governance plan that addresses content ownership, process, and security rights
These steps should be a part of your SharePoint project documentation
