SharePoint Site Owner Governance Toolkit

Product Description

Equip SharePoint site owners with practical checklists, controls, and tracking tools for managing permissions, content, ownership, lifecycle, and compliance responsibilities.

The SharePoint Site Owner Governance Toolkit helps organizations translate governance expectations into repeatable actions that site owners can understand and perform.

Rather than relying on broad policy statements alone, this workbook provides a practical framework for reviewing site purpose, membership, permissions, content standards, lifecycle status, and ongoing ownership responsibilities.
