SharePoint Architect's Planning Guide

Classic versus Modern SharePoint

There is an idiom that states the more things change, the more they stay the same. In the world of SharePoint, many familiar concepts have existed for a long time, but there have also been many changes over the years. With SharePoint Online, those changes are occurring at a rapid pace.

It’s been a privilege to see SharePoint change and mature over the years, from its earliest days as an extension to the on-premises Office Online Server to becoming a server-based product of its own to becoming a set of services in the cloud that forms the backbone of file sharing and collaboration.

This chapter is designed for the person who has been a part of that history and worked with on-premises SharePoint but is new to the world of Microsoft 365 (M365) and SharePoint Online. Maybe you’ve been an architect, an admin, a developer, a trainer, or a frustrated user. Cool! I’ve been there too. As with all technical books, this one sits along a point in that timeline, with a view of the past and a fleeting moment to be current at least or future-facing at best.

On the SharePoint timeline sits a pivotal divide. It is kind of like BC/AD or BCE/CE. We’ll call it C/M – the divide between classic and modern SharePoint. In many ways, this divide can be seen as the divide between SharePoint on-premises versus SharePoint in the cloud. The dividing line is not quite that crisp, however. It is on that blurry line on which our first planning exercise begins, as we explore the following topics together:

  • Modern building blocks
  • The classics
  • A mixed skyline
  • The paths to modern
  • Hybrid workloads
  • Additional features
  • IT governance
  • Planning document

By the end of the chapter, we will have reviewed the five core areas most impactful to users of SharePoint Online. We will have looked at modern sites and web parts, ways to get from classic to modern, and the ability to combine the worlds of SharePoint Server and Office 365 by using hybrid mode.

Key benefits

  • Learn how to structure sites, pages, and data with effective metadata
  • Understand the modernization of SharePoint over time and discover ways to leverage its out-of-the-box features
  • Fit all the pieces together across cloud tools like Teams, OneDrive, Planner, and Forms

Description

After opening a toolbox full of tools, it can initially be hard to know which is the right one for the job – which tool works best and when. Showing you how to create an informed and purposeful plan for SharePoint Online in the context of the Microsoft 365 suite of tools is what this book is all about. SharePoint Architect's Planning Guide will help you understand all you can do with SharePoint. Whether the tools are new to you or you’ve used the older versions in the past, your journey will start by learning about the building blocks. This book is not a step-by-step guide; there are tons of online resources to give you that and to help you better keep up with the pace of change. This book is a planning guide, helping you with the context, capabilities, and considerations for implementing SharePoint Online in the most successful way possible. Whether you need to plan a new intranet, migrate files to a modern platform, or take advantage of tools such as Power Platform, Teams, and Planner, this guide will help you get to grips with the technology, ask the right questions to build your plan, and successfully implement it from the technical and user adoption perspectives. By the end of this Microsoft book, you’ll be able to perceive the toolbox as a whole and efficiently prepare a planning and governance document for use in your organization.

Who is this book for?

This book is for any IT professional looking for an all-encompassing view of the collaboration tools in Microsoft 365 to plan for successful SharePoint adoption. This book will benefit long-time SharePoint on-premises administrators making a leap to the cloud, as well as IT architects with experience in other areas who’ve never worked with SharePoint.

What you will learn

  • Find out how to build or migrate to an effective modern intranet
  • Explore how SharePoint works with other Microsoft 365 tools
  • Discover best practices for extending SharePoint
  • Understand the ways to implement effective metadata
  • Plan for successful adoption and change management
  • Explore best practices for site and data architecture

I was looking out some resources on the SharePoint architect prospective towards modern environment, and I got this book by Patrick which is based on the modern environment.He clearly explained the modern environment and how you should plan for migration from classic SharePoint to Modern by using various options and what you should consider.Another thing I liked about the book is the way it explains the modern SharePoint customization options and the understanding of Microsoft 365 groups. As an architect, we should know the hub site, how metadata works, and permissions work in SharePoint Online, which are explained very nicely in the book. If you really want to become a SharePoint architect, then I will highly recommend the book.

If you administered SharePoint classic, and need a helping hand to make the jump to modern SharePoint. Or if you're in any SharePoint Administrator position, this book is a must-have for your reference and learning library. It covers everything from making the transition from classic to modern, the basics of laying out pages, to advance administrative settings and JSON.An excellent guide, an even better reference, from a skilled SharePoint expert. Highly recommended.

The intended audience for the book is perhaps someone like me - a battle-hardened SharePoint admin or architect who needs to move on with the times. There is so much folklore and previous history with SharePoint that it's an almost insurmountable task to get up to speed by reading Microsoft Docs diligently. The more I read the book, the more I got the feeling that I should have had this book some years ago when I was ramping up on all things SharePoint Online and the modern work capabilities of Microsoft 365.It's a great book, that clearly walks you through the past, the current state of things, and how to best utilize the numerous capabilities and services in SharePoint Online, including the Power Platform and other Microsoft 365 services. Highly recommended.

You'll get a lot of useful knowledge about SharePoint from this book. It appeals more to people who have a basic knowledge of SharePoint. I particularly loved the reference to SharePoint as a collaborative tool with other M365 tools. Have recommended the book to a few admins I know personally.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
