SharePoint Adoption Best Practices

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides a vast number of capabilities that empower business users. For example, SharePoint Server 2010 enables users to collaborate on documents with each other, tag and rate content, self-publish, track group projects, and even develop their own productivity solutions. However, even with this amount of power in hand, users (and the organizations they work for) can benefit greatly from having a clear SharePoint Adoption Plan. Why? Because SharePoint is often something that users can benefit from, but don’t necessarily have to use to get their job done.

A SharePoint Adoption Plan describes how the benefits of your SharePoint deployment will be communicated to users and what kind of training you’ll provide. An adoption plan helps you establish the following:

• Power Users and Influencers who can “peer coach” fellow users
• A plan for Communications and Buzz
• A Comprehensive Training Plan

In this white paper, you will learn how to plan, organize, and create your adoption plan. We'll also provide some examples of how to integrate your governance plan into the training and communications plans for your solution.
