Project Collaborate Framework for SharePoint Team Sites - Case Study

Sandwich Drug Discovery Site Collection
Many of the approaches and principles encapsulated in this framework were derived from the experience the Project Collaborate team had implementing medium to large SharePoint Collections whilest working at Pfizer.

Example Site Collection Design
Key to the design of all site collections was to ensure that the structure supported extensiblity and scalablity but most importantly that the collections were simple to navigate. In many cases we chose to build a structure that aligns with our organisational structure as this provides users with a simple and intuitive navigational model while allowing for changes in organisational structure. An example of the level of detail needed for your future state site collection map is illustrated below.
