Hey Mark,

Nice work.
I will have a good look at it and see how and if I can use them on my current project. At this moment I am responsible for providing Sites (Collections) to the business and I see this mainly as documentation and reference material and I can provide a nice clickable PDF to give to the Site (Collection) Owner.

But the MindMaps are nice, and I got inspired with the Site Collection “Entrance”

Thanks !

I cannot find the template(s). Do you have them in the form of mind map files (.mmap)? If so, could you supply the link?

Thank you!

Have a wonderful holiday!!

One of the questions you raise in your workshop is on the price-point for the “deployable” version. For me, I would pay a premium IF the version not only deployed what was documented in the mind-map, but also was able to check compliance after it was deployed. For example, three months later, when the site owner contacts me to say people suddenly cannot access a certain document library in his site and that he “didn’t do anything to the site”.

Let me have a one-button comparison against the original settings so I can know if something has changed. To make things simple, this could be in some sort of exceptions report and wouldn’t even need to show up in the mind map itself.

Vinit – That is correct. These templates are for the planning stage, not for auto-deployment. – Mark

So if I heard is right, this tool does not have a Deploy button which connects to the accepts a URL and moves everything to a Sharepoint Site. This is like an interactive document which can be shared between developer and architect to ensure both are on the same page.

To fix the video not appearing problem I had to uninstall and reinstall flash:

Mark,

Thank you for posting this recording, mind map your templates and worksheets for site collection. I am a SP newbie and the tools have provided me with many ‘aha’ moments as I work on my collection project.

Angie – When you subscribed to the newsletter, there was a link and a password to the Subscriber Only Archive on the confirmation page. The Team Site Team is one of the first downloads available in the list.

Regards,
Mark
