31. Defining Policies Consider charge back for App Hosting Use Site Collection quotas How do I handle a free SharePoint Designer? What should I do with Codeplex? Support for Third party solutions? Require Solution Deployments!!! (.wsp) IT Provisioned Larger Quota Permanent Supported Dev env. $$$ Charge Back Self Service Smaller Quota Quicker Expiration OOB Adhoc Structured
47. Keep It Simple Stupid. Don’t start with LOB Integration and BDC and Excel Services requirements on your first go… Start easy and work up… Start with Collab, Search and Profiles, it’s an easy win. Watch for Scope Creep it is very easy in SharePoint. Careful with development requirements that lead to custom site definition

Cutting corners – “My Devs are My Admins” The SharePoint project is no longer SharePoint (it’s so custom and no longer supportable) “Production is test and dev, and where I introduce my service packs” SharePoint is a simple install... (c’mon it’s a Microsoft app... No one will even notice it.) Comon let this .DLL go... (require .WSP!) NOT Key takeaways today...
