Book Description
Opening a toolbox full of tools for the first time can make it hard to choose the right one for the job. Which tool works best when? Creating an informed and purposeful plan for SharePoint Online in the context of the M365 suite of tools is what this book is all about.
This planning guide will help you understand what is possible and what is desirable with SharePoint. Whether the tools are new to you or you've used older versions of them in the past, our journey will start with defining the building blocks. This book is not a step-by-step guide, there are tons of online resources to give you that and to better keep up with the pace of change. This book is a planning guide, helping you with context, capabilities, and considerations for implementing SharePoint Online in the most successful way possible.
By the end of the book, you will be able to see the toolbox as a whole and prepare your planning and governance document for use in your organization. Whether you need to plan a new intranet, migrate files to a modern platform, or take advantage of tools like Power Platform, Teams, and Planner, this guide will help you understand the technology, ask the right questions to build your plan, and successfully implement it from a technical and user adoption perspective
