We don’t really have a dedicated SharePoint Administrator so we’re trying to figure out how often we should be applying SharePoint patches or cumulative updates to our farm.
In your opinion, is it better to:
- Apply them right away whenever they come out
- Wait until a couple come out and then apply them on a -2 schedule
- Wait until a service pack comes out and apply them all at once
- Only apply a patch if it fixes a specific issue that you are experiencing or a potential security threat
- If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – don’t do anything until you upgrade to SharePoint vNext

I agree with:
“even if pushed to a test environment first some of the issues may be missed and will only be picked up once it is used in anger in Prod by the wider user base.”
I have seen a many “test” and “prod” environments that differ way too much.
