About the author...

Incorporating leading and proven best practices is key to the successful design and implementation of your Microsoft SharePoint solution in your enterprise. 

Over time, your organization will want to capture, document and implement its own set of best practices as its experience with SharePoint grows.  In general, these will be of higher value than 3rd-party practices as they will be more closely-aligned with your specific organization, standards and processes. 

As a starting point, Microsoft Consulting Services has compiled a reasonably broad and useful set of best practices for MOSS 2010 covering the areas below:

• Operational Excellence
• Team Collaboration Sites
• My Sites
• Publishing Portals
• Search
• Capacity Management
• Developing Custom Applications
