    One standard for every client, project and team site.

  4. 04Built and handed over

    Set up in SharePoint, with a one-page guide for owners.

Questions

What people ask.

Folders or metadata?

Both, each where it fits. A few folders people recognize, with tags doing the work for search.

Do we have to move everything at once?

No. The structure is set up first, then teams move in one at a time.
