MANAGE WORKSPACE SPRAWL... WITH MANAGED PROVISIONING WITH IMPROVED GOVERNANCE WITH IMPROVED NAVIGATION
PROBLEM: CONTENT GROWS OVER TIME… The modern digital workplace and Intranet has a continually increasing number of digital spaces or ‘sites’ where content is stored and shared.
PROBLEM: CONTENT GROWS OVER TIME… Most organizations don’t know who created a digital space (SP Site, Team, Yammer Community, etc). What was its purpose? It’s department? It’s product, client, project, etc? As an end user this makes navigating these spaces extremely challenging. Think it’s better as an administrator or digital workplace/intranet leader? It’s not.

PROBLEM: CONTENT GROWS OVER TIME… Be aware of the increased number of sites teams creates and by proxy greater importance of governance, navigation improvements, content/site classification and more.

WHY DO WE NEED TO MANAGE SPRAWL? What are the common issues that come with unmanaged sprawl of Microsoft Teams or SharePoint Sites? Ineffective Naming Unclear Purpose Or Workspace Focus Unclear Official vs Unofficial Cannot Differentiate At A Glance Inappropriate Name Usage Owners Missing Orphaned Teams/Sites Unmanaged Teams/Sites Sponsor vs Owner Challenge Private Channels (Don’t Require Owner) Redundant Teams/Sites Decreased User Confidence Inconsistent Workspaces Increased Operational Load Increased Costs To Support Data Loss Risks Limited Ability To Target Labels For Information Protection Limited Ability To Determine Risk Limited Ability To Pro-actively Mitigate Risks Limited Permission Review & Increased Chances Of Over Sharing Loss Of Control Often Unmanaged Use Of Apps (Cannot Target) Unmanaged Integration Limited Ability To Target Labels For Retention No Clear Escalation If Owner Missing Or Unresponsive Slower Team/Site Start Not Tailored Or Fit To Purpose Inconsistent Design/Layout Leads To Relearning Hesitation To Optimize Created Spaces Technically Challenging Navigation Productivity Costs Challenging For New Users To Ramp Hard To Find Workspaces Uncertain Who Owns A Workspace Reliance On Others To Link Training & Adoption Challenges When To Use What Challenges No Consistency Makes It Harder To Train Unmanaged Workspaces Cannot Be Targeted With Guidance Difficulty Identifying Champions & Pro- actively Targeting Champions
WHY IS IT HARD TO MANAGE SPRAWL? Every organization that successfully leverages digital workplace solutions will have a continually growing sprawl of sites, teams, communities and spaces. Why isn’t this solved? https://sharepointmaven.com/20-ways-to-create-an-office-365-group/ Did you know there are 20+ ways to create a site, team or group?
MANAGE WORKSPACE SPRAWL... WITH MANAGED PROVISIONING WITH IMPROVED GOVERNANCE WITH IMPROVED NAVIGATION
SOLUTION: OOTB CREATION EXPERIENCES? While OOTB can work great for many smaller orgs (less than 100 users), most need more structure to support governance, lifecycle management, and better search/navigation experiences. Out Of The Box ●
SOLUTION: MANY OPTIONS! Each of these capabilities can be leveraged in a solution to meet the needs of an effective request and provisioning engine for Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Yammer and more. SPFx Solutions Custom Sites Azure Functions Logic Apps WebJobs PnP Provisioning Engine SharePoint Site Designs Teams Templates Power Apps Power Automate Microsoft Lists SharePoint Lists
SOLUTION: REQUEST PROCESS! It is important to have a process for new site and team creation and to automate the process so that you can provide tailored, or templated experiences for users and better management/navigation. Example of a High-level Site Provisioning process description
SOLUTION: METADATA DURING CREATION Why is asking a few extra questions on provisioning so important? What value does this extra metadata provide once we have it for reference? Workspace (Site/Team) Metadata Enables Default Metadata Empowers Effective Labelling Targeted Content Protection Targeted Retention Management Differentiate Templates Faster Adoption Improved Productivity Consistency Manage More Effectively Target Support Improve Lifecycle Management Reduce Redundancy & Empower Discovery Sample Metadata Questions: • What is the purpose or business reason for this workspace? • What division does this relate to? • What department does this relate to? • What product does this relate to? • What customer does this relate to? • What project does this relate to? • Will this workspace contain highly confidential information? • Who is the business sponsor for this workspace? • What should the visibility of this workspace be? Should it be shown in the directory?
DEFAULT METADATA… You don’t need to ask users for metadata if it can be determined by where their content is stored. Location based defaults or default site metadata can be very powerful.
SOLUTION: POWER APP FORM(S)! By centralizing and governing the creation of ‘spaces’ (groups, teams, sites etc.) we can improve content organization and apply things like default metadata and pre-configured templates. FREE: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/samples/app-templates#request-a-team Watch out for premium connector costs with Power Automate on the provisioning!
SOLUTION: REQUEST FORM(S)! By centralizing and governing the creation of ‘spaces’ (groups, teams, sites etc.) we can improve content organization and apply things like default metadata and pre-configured templates. You can always create your own forms and embed them into your digital workplace hub / Intranet. Here we have simple field additions and a style that displays based on an option in the global navigation. Requires Minor Customization ◑
SOLUTION: TEMPLATING & PROVISIONING Building a tool that leverages SPFx web parts and PnP allows you to own the code but requires in-house development expertise and allows you with tailor the features to your needs –template selection, custom metadata/details, and automated provisioning You can always create your own forms and embed them into your digital workplace hub / Intranet. Giving users greater control over multiple site template options and features Requires development ◑
SOLUTION: TEMPLATING & PROVISIONING With the use of a 3rd party product this process of requesting a new workspace is considerably improved over the OOTB approach with tailored and easy to manage templates, metadata/details, and automated provisioning.

MANAGE WORKSPACE SPRAWL... WITH MANAGED PROVISIONING WITH IMPROVED GOVERNANCE WITH IMPROVED NAVIGATION
SOLUTION: IMPROVE MANAGEMENT! By centralizing and governing the creation of ‘spaces’ (groups, teams, sites etc.) we can improve how we manage the lifecycle of these spaces. Expiration & Archiving Policies Duplication Detection Reduce Risks (Owner, External Sharing, etc.) Associate Teams & Sites To SharePoint Hubs Provide Training Material Improve Site / Team Owner Onboarding
SOLUTION: IMPROVE MANAGEMENT! By centralizing and governing the creation of ‘spaces’ (groups, teams, sites etc.) we can improve how we manage the lifecycle of these spaces. Can we reduce redundant spaces? Can we improve how they are managed? On the more custom side you might see prompts based on finding similar existing spaces (reducing redundant spaces), or automatic lifecycle and governance, that occurs based on re-engaging users/owners etc.
SOLUTION: IMPROVE MANAGEMENT! Solutions like Orchestry can provide more accessibility and simplified options for enabling key management scenarios and governance of your workspaces.
SOLUTION: PRO-ACTIVE MANAGEMENT! With various bots, intelligent assistants, or even simple Power Automate solutions you can further improve how users leverage these tools, get the most out of them, and manage them.

PROBLEM: CONTENT GROWS OVER TIME… The modern digital workplace and Intranet has a continually increasing number of digital spaces or ‘sites’ where content is stored and shared. How can we help our users navigate this? With so many spaces (sites, teams, yammer communities and more) how can an Intranet (a Digital Hub for your Digital Workplace) improve navigation of these spaces?
PROBLEM: CONTENT GROWS OVER TIME… Most organizations don’t know who created a digital space (SP Site, Team, Yammer Community, etc). What was its purpose? It’s department? It’s product, client, project, etc? As an end user this makes navigating these spaces extremely challenging. Think it’s better as an administrator or digital workplace/intranet leader? It’s not.

SOLUTION: LEVERAGE OOTB NAVIGATION? Mega menu layout enables you to better organize and showcase the related content and sites based on topic categories and headings. All with audience targeting and more… Out Of The Box ●
SOLUTION: DESIGN BETTER NAVIGATION! Navigation doesn’t need to be limited to top level links, or simple UI layouts. Here we have two examples of content in the nav, and richer/deeper nav. Requires Customization ◔ This design only scales to so many links. There are other options than a simple sectional layout.
SOLUTION: DESIGN BETTER NAVIGATION! Navigation doesn’t need to be limited to top level links, or simple UI layouts. Here we have two examples of content in the nav, and richer/deeper nav. Requires Customization ◔ This design scales to more lower level links. There are other options than the OOTB simple sectional layout.
SOLUTION: HOW ABOUT SHAREPOINT HOME? Office 365’s SharePoint home is now a more modern site directory experience that is more personalized and dynamic. From recent sites you visited to recent activity relevant to you. Out Of The Box ●
SOLUTION: HOW ABOUT SHAREPOINT HOME? It’s a little hidden and most users don’t know it exists. Even when trained users often forget to use it, because you have to navigate away from the places you work to visit it. Out Of The Box ● How do users get to it? So… it’s another place to go?
SOLUTION: LEVERAGE OOTB NAVIGATION? With improvements coming to global menu design can we leverage that to fill the hub mega menu gaps? Out Of The Box ●
SOLUTION: LEVERAGE OOTB NAVIGATION? With improvements coming to global menu design can we leverage that to fill the hub mega menu gaps? ADD your own app to this bar for a DIRECTORY as these default ones are not sufficient. Out Of The Box ●
SOLUTION: LEVERAGE OOTB NAVIGATION? With improvements coming to global menu design can we leverage that to fill the hub mega menu gaps? ADD your own app to this bar for a DIRECTORY as these default ones are not sufficient. Out Of The Box ●
SOLUTION: BRING IT INTO GLOBAL NAV! While structured and managed navigation is still valid in today’s world it is also important to improve navigation with powerful capabilities like search and dynamic navigation. SharePoint Home In The Global Navigation Bring the power of that dynamic personalized navigation into the global/top nav experience. Requires Customization ◔ You can improve what MSFT provides with icons, more filters, more personalization, and your own styling.
SOLUTION: DESIGN BETTER NAVIGATION! Continued updates are coming for managing links in the footer with background color options and ability to organize footer links. SPFx solution using PnP footer extended (personal links) SPFx solution using custom code Requires Customization ◔
SOLUTION: DESIGN BETTER NAVIGATION! Navigation can also display more ways for users to personalize and manage their apps, resources, tools, places they work and more. Requires Customization ◔ Requires Customization ◔ Personalization options that allow users to define their links, apps, tools and resources can make a global navigation that much more helpful. This doesn’t have to be in the core menu design and could always be a header or footer control.
SOLUTION: DIRECTORY EXPERIENCES! What is shown below is a really simple mockup of a filtered OOTB site directory experience. You can create many pages with different views/visuals and relevant links to resources (Team, Site, Yammer, etc.) Our communities can be filtered or explored by hierarchies (site explorer), by focus area (topic map), by the ones you recently visited or have favorited (your sites, your teams, your communities) or by filtering the columns below (just click the column header).

SOLUTION: DIRECTORY EXPERIENCES! These can be integrated where users are such as in Microsoft Teams which Orchestry already does. Filter and find with metadata, favorite and bookmark, create hierarchies, and more.
MANAGE WORKSPACE SPRAWL... WITH MANAGED PROVISIONING WITH IMPROVED GOVERNANCE WITH IMPROVED NAVIGATION
DIGITAL WORKPLACE PLANNING… Intranets? Extranets? Departmental Portals? Functional Areas? Project Group Sites? Team Group Sites? Enterprise Social Network? Document Management? Records Management? And much much more…. Provisioning and management planning is a small part of your broader digital workplace planning and only the first (but important) part of Microsoft 365 Governance planning.
