SharePoint has the potential to be an incredible tool for collaboration and document management. Yet, for many organizations, it often feels like a source of constant frustration. This is due to what we call "SharePoint Chaos" – a state where lack of governance and communication leads to disorganized, inefficient, and often chaotic use of SharePoint.
What is SharePoint Chaos?
SharePoint Chaos occurs when businesses start using SharePoint without proper guiding principles or governance. This leads to a free-for-all where everyone uses SharePoint differently, resulting in disjointed collaboration, duplicated files and a general lack of productivity.
The common symptoms of SharePoint Chaos:
-
Inconsistent naming conventions: No two files look the same, leading to confusion and back-end conflicts
-
Difficult navigation: Poorly stored files make it hard to find documents when needed
-
Duplicated files: Unclear management results in multiple versions of the same document
-
Information silos: Vital information gets locked away in team sites, inaccessible to others who need it
-
Leaking information: Incorrect permissions can lead to sensitive information being exposed
The impact of poor SharePoint management
Without proper management from day one, SharePoint can quickly become a dumping ground for files, causing significant issues for compliance and governance. Information silos can develop, reducing the visibility of key information and creating a large volume of access requests and support tickets.
