Last week, while I was working with a customer to on-board OneDrive and Teams, we started a discussion around governance. I had an older template that I had put together a few years ago for another government customer, but I decided to revisit it and update it with current controls.
While the attached governance template is pretty deep, our administrative controls and options do change periodically. You should include a process to revisit the available controls on a quarterly basis and ensure you’re using a configuration that best reflects your organization’s business requirements.
The following sample shows how I’ve organized the data (control plane, default/recommended options, and notes).

You can download the template here: SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams Governance Blueprint.pdf
Happy governanting!
