Things to consider

•Who does deployments – power user, department lead,
SharePoint/Office 365 admin, devs?
•How often are deployments done?
•Are deployments repeated (e.g. apply same deployment multiple
times?)
31. What has worked for me…
Our approach to deployments
•Gather information architecture & content through Excel
•PnP PowerShell to build template site, configure, brand
•Provisioning Template to build target site(s)/content
•PnP PowerShell to add content
•SharePoint UI is used where PowerShell is not available

Editor's Notes
Questions
What is the process for changes?
How are changes governed?
Who does deployments – power user, department lead, SharePoint/Office 365 admin, devs?
How often are deployments done?
Are deployments repeated (e.g. apply same deployment multiple times?)
Part of what I do is manage the configuration and deployments for our clients.
This means having to do many steps – over and over and over

Imagine disaster relief efforts:
Plane lands, sets up tents with flags and signage of supporting country (e.g. US flag) - branding
Turn school into a makeshift hospital - configuration
Help repair damaged water supply – infrastructure
Provide food, medicine, other supplies - content
Type of deployments
IA
Metadata
Taxonomy
Site structure
Configuration
Finite set of configurations
Today, there are some limitations (e.g. User Property creation)
Branding
Content
Different types have different needs
IA – simple, but often high in volume (e.g. building term sets, site columns)
Simple
Implement a single feature/component
Complex
Implement multiple feature/component that are interdependent
Every part in itself may be simple to deploy
However, deploying the entire package needs to be carefully orchestrated
Order matters
Creation definitions matter
Imagine everything that goes into an intranet…
Deployment
Can be broken down into two major groups
Manual - UI
Automated – scripts and 3rd party solutions
Content
Lists
Libraries
Site Settings
IA
Site Columns
Content Types
Term Store
Branding
