The following are three benefits of having clear and effective SharePoint requirements:
- Robust Compliance and Security:
- Regulatory Needs: Well-defined requirements ensure that SharePoint meets regulatory compliance. This includes authentication, security guidelines, and control over sites, subsites, folders, lists, documents, and apps.
- Audit and Approval: Detailed requirements allow for audit trails and approvals, even down to individual files.
- Effective Collaboration and Real-Time Updates:
- Company-Wide Collaboration: SharePoint has seamless collaboration across teams and departments. Multiple users can work on the same document simultaneously.
- Clear Business Focus:
- Define Business Value: Before deploying SharePoint, it’s essential to understand the specific business value it brings to the organization.
- Focus on Business First: While technical requirements are important, they should not be the core initial focus.
