Information Management Challenge
 Lack of centralized storage
   Information dispersed
   Can be multiple copies of the same document
   Tracking and undoing changes
   Merging changes from multiple users can be
    problematic

 Defining relevant information access
   Any user with a copy can edit the file
   No way to track who made changes and when
Team Collaboration Challenge
 Real time
   Need to ensure only one user can edit a file at a time
   Need instant communication among group members

 Offline
   Users need to know what changes have been made to a
    file and when
   Discussion and feedback mechanism is needed

 Remote
   Making information accessible anytime anywhere
   Need a method of tracking changes, seeing who made
    changes, and rolling back to prior versions

Point
What’s SharePoint?
 Allows individuals in an organization to easily create and
  manage their own collaborative Web sites
   Simplifies how people find and share information across
    boundaries, and enabling better informed decisions
   Seamlessly integrates with Windows and MS Office

 Does not refer to a specific product or technology
   Using the word “Microsoft SharePoint” is like using the
    word “Microsoft Office”
   Refers to several aspects of Web-based collaborative
    solutions
     Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0
     Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007
What if SharePoint is a Car?

           Car                 SharePoint
Purpose:              Purpose:

SharePoint Geek Vagen
WSS and MOSS
 WSS is the core technology of Microsoft SharePoint
   If SharePoint is a car, WSS can be considered the “engine”
   Provides the core technology that supports document
    management and team collaboration
   WSS is available for free as long as your organization is
    utilizing Windows Server 2003 or above

 MOSS extends the capabilities of WSS
   Going back to our car analogy, MOSS provides extended
    capabilities such as GPS, a DV D system, Voice Commands
   Extended features include Enterprise search,
    Personalization, Enterprise Content Management, etc.
   Unlike WSS, MOSS is not available for free
Agenda

 Information Management Challenges

 Why SharePoint?

 Setting Up a SharePoint Site

 Adding Site Components

 Including Stakeholders to the Site

 Supporting Team Collaboration and Reporting

 Adapting SharePoint to Your Env ironment

 Summary
SharePoint Site Hierarchy
 SharePoint sites are organized in a hierarchy
   Top-level site
   Sub-site
                     Top-lev el site

                                                  Sub-sites




                                Site Collection
Deciding Site Hierarchy
 How would you organize sites? What is the logical
  taxonomy?

 With your organization, choose one of the
  two high-level Site hierarchy options:
      Single site collection that includes a
       top-level site and all sites are sub-sites
      Multiple site collections where
       each site is an independent
       site collection
Site Creation
 Two main ways of creating a SharePoint sub-site
   Directly from a top-level site using a Web browser
   From any Microsoft Office application

 Steps to create a sub-site:
  1. Go to the Create page
  2. Select Sites and Workspaces
  3. Specify Site Creation Settings
Workshop 1: Creating a SharePoint Site

Agenda

 Information Management Challenges

 Why SharePoint?

 Setting Up a SharePoint Site

    templates, forms, and checklists
   Maintain history & define access privileges

 Facilitate communication and collaboration
   Collaborative activities such as scheduling a meeting,
    jointly developing a proposal or informally brainstorming
    on strategies should be supported

 Automate processes

 In SharePoint, information is stored and organized in lists
  and libraries
SharePoint Lists
 A collection of shared information items
   Most of the information in a SharePoint site is organized
    and stored in lists
   Everyone who has access to the site is able to view lists

 V iewing a list is comparable to viewing information in a
  spreadsheet
Common Lists in a SharePoint Site
 Calendar

 Contacts

 Project task

 Issue tracking

 Custom List
Components of a List
 Lists are composed of two key sections
  1. List toolbar
     – New
    – Actions
    – Settings
    – V iew
  2. List item(s)
Creating a List
 Two types of lists that can be created
   Out-of-the-box list
   Custom list

 Steps to create a list:
  1. Go to the Create page
  2. Select the type of list to be created
  3. Specify the list settings
Workshop 2: Creating and Populating Lists




      Please refer to the Workshop Manual
Libraries
 Files are stored and organized in libraries
   Similar to storing files in folders

 Provides a centralized location
   Document storage
   Controlled access of documents

 Libraries are advanced lists
   Features and functionalities in lists are mostly applicable
    to libraries

 There are four types of libraries
   In a Site, you would typically use a document library
Creating a Document Library
 Multiple ways to create a document library
   From the browser
   From Microsoft Office

 Steps to create a list:
  1. Go to the Create page
  2. Select Document Library

   What is the frequency?
   Will they retrieve the information or should it be sent to
    them?

 Stakeholder influence and interest defines Site access
   How much access would a stakeholder have?
SharePoint Site Access
 SharePoint sites are intended for a community of users
   It is the responsibility of the site owner to define who the
    site members are

 Typically, site membership is defined when the site is being
  created
   Site membership also defines what the member can do

 How are site members added?
  1. Site members can be manually added by the site owner
  2. Site access can be requested by any user
Site Permissions

 Default permission levels in SharePoint include:
   Full Control: has full site control

 The challenge in a major technology rollout is …

 Remember, people can change as
   The change is worthwhile
   It would bring great benefits primarily at a personal level
    then at the organizational level
