The topic of SharePoint Governance was THE hot topic last year and probably the year before. It seems to have gone of the boil recently, so I was wondering now that SharePoint 2013 has been out for a while now, what your governance approach is ?
Do you use a governance plan and / or do you use tooling to help out ? How do you prevent your Farms becoming unmanageable ? What’s the latest and great in SharePoint governance nowadays ?
Well, in my case since I am an IT Pro, I will talk about my Farms governance and the eternal war with the Developers.
For me, the developers only have access to their local Development Machines and the “Development” farm. After that, only the SharePoint Admin can log on and deploy on QA, UAT and Production with the scripts provided by the Devs. This also makes sure they don’t ask to manually insert stuff on web.config or other bad practices like that.
