This article is concerned with how the management of documents and data in a site related to the delivery of a SharePoint solution, thus allowing the control, storage and management of information related to a SharePoint delivery program. This document will describe the recommended structure for a SharePoint Project filing system and the associated numbering scheme, collectively referred to as the file referencing system. This could be used as a business continuity example of maintaining key documents in a SharePoint site, as well as a mechanism to record the standards by which documentation is controlled for a delivery of a SharePoint solution. Modify this to suit the requirements of the client and the SharePoint solution being implemented.
