SharePoint Site Planning Course

Most SharePoint sites start strong — then fall apart. Folders multiply, content disappears, and navigation turns into chaos.

The problem isn’t SharePoint — it’s planning.

This course shows you how to fix that once and for all using the Container Method™ — a business-first approach to SharePoint that focuses on purpose, structure, and clarity before a single site is built.

You’ll learn how to plan any site — team, project, process, or resource — so your environment stays consistent, scalable, and findable.

✅ How to use the 4-step Container Method™ planning framework
✅ How to define the purpose and scope of each site
✅ How to decide what content belongs in each container
✅ How to plan structure and metadata that actually make sense
✅ How to avoid the 4 most common SharePoint design mistakes
✅ How to build a consistent, Copilot-ready site framework your users will love

• SharePoint site owners and creators

• Information managers and governance leads

• Project managers and department coordinators

• Anyone responsible for new site planning or redesign

No coding, no complexity — just practical frameworks and real examples.

The Container Method™ replaces guesswork with a repeatable system that scales.
It’s built from real consulting experience with hundreds of organisations — the exact process used to fix messy, inconsistent sites.

Once you master it, every SharePoint site you plan will have:

• Clear purpose

• Logical organisation

• Consistent metadata

• Engaged users

• Better search results

• Built-in Copilot readiness

✅ Confidence planning and launching new SharePoint sites
✅ Clearer, cleaner site structures that grow sustainably
✅ Happier users who can actually find what they need
✅ Reduced duplication and better governance
✅ A consistent framework that saves hours per project
