Site Collection Design - Design the Future State

=Future State=

This activity needs to ascertain the future state, i.e. what will the site collection structure look like. Draft a 'high-level' site collection architecture design and consider how your site design supports the following scenarios:

Site Extensibility
The design of the site collection must take into account 'site extensibility'. This relates to the migration of sites in and out of the collection and isn't the same as capacity planning. Think about the components of the organization that could be routinely moved to another part of the organization, and ensure your site collection architecture is able to accommodate moving them without breaking the rest of the collection structure.

Site Navigation
How are users going to navigate the collection? Is there a clear and logical structure to the site collection? When a user follows a link to a sub-site in the collection how will they know where they are within the collection?
