Governance Documentation Package

A focused, high‑value engagement that delivers the governance clarity most organizations are missing — without the overhead of a full framework project.

Let’s Talk

Who This Is For

This package is ideal for teams that:

• Have Microsoft 365 in place but lack clear, written governance.
• Need something concrete to align IT, business, and records teams.
• Are under pressure from audits, risk, or leadership to “show the plan.”
• Want a practical starting point they can adopt and expand over time.

What’s Included

• SharePoint & Teams governance template — roles, responsibilities, and operating guidelines.
• Governance checklist — day‑to‑day operational checks and recurring activities.
• Configuration guidance — key settings and controls to align with your governance model.
• Adoption considerations — how to introduce and socialize governance with your teams.
• Optional expansion areas such as:
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
  • Records management & retention
  • External sharing governance
  • Labeling & sensitivity policies

Introducing Governance to the Organization

Even lightweight governance needs thoughtful introduction. Modern Shift provides guidance on how to socialize and roll out governance documentation so teams understand what’s changing and why it matters.

• Messaging and communication recommendations
• Guidance for introducing governance to site owners and Teams owners
• Training considerations for business units
• Tips for reinforcing governance over time

How the Engagement Works

1. Context & priorities — understanding your environment, risk profile, and governance pain points.
2. Template tailoring — adapting a proven governance structure to your organization.
3. Review session — walking through the documentation with your core stakeholders.
4. Refinement — incorporating feedback and clarifying responsibilities.
5. Final package — delivering ready‑to‑use governance documentation.

Deliverables

• Governance document for SharePoint and Teams.
• Operational governance checklist.
• Configuration guidance summary.
• Optional add‑on sections (DLP, retention, external sharing, labeling).

Expected Outcomes

You gain practical, ready‑to‑use governance documentation that your team can adopt immediately — giving you clarity, alignment, and a strong foundation for future governance work.
