Hi Michael,

Thanks for the details. I'm in development but never did documentation due to timelimits. It would be a great help if you can update this page when u update your portal.

Cheers

usually it's a single Visio diagram depicting all information that come in|come out, to get the whole picture quickly, but making accents on how it "flows"

"content location" will detalize it to the specific level (either site or site collection)

hi, i love your blog. can you please expand on: To plan you taxonomy and build good information structure you need to visualize all information on the single page, with direction where it flows. It helps you understand what happens with existing system).

Do you mean a single page - ie: a single Visio diagram. And would you do a single page for each information module, or just one single page for the entire site collection? (as a general rule of course)

can you please elaborate?

There are not public templates for SharePoint SDLC, unfortunatelly. Few people tries to create them, but I can't find any good templates.

I would recommend to google:

Sample geekswithblogs.net/.../documenting-your-sharepoint-application-design-part-1.aspx and geekswithblogs.net/.../documenting-your-sharepoint-application-design-part-2-the-process.aspx

Hi there Michael,

Thanks for your post, it's interesting and very useful to me.

Could you please send me some templates or smaple of documentation for SharePoint projects. As you its mnetioned above that "SharePoint SDLC differs from standard development".

Besides, I have done some researches on the Internet and I found plenty of templates such as RUP (www.ts.mah.se/.../index.htm) and others stuff, but I believe that they are not compatible with SharePoint projects and they do not fit together.

The list mentioned above (Those 14 points) are really comprehensive methodology to create full SharePoint project from A to Z, I will owe you for life if you could provide me templates of documents or some samples of documentations which applies those 14 points in the list above.

I truly need this help from you because it's very urgent and so important to me and I will never ever forget this favor, I beg your understanding!

My email is: alex9spain@gmail.com

I very much look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

--Alex
