DOCUMENT
SETS

GREAT FOR…
 Organizations/teams that run lots of mini-projects
 Teams that need to ease their users into metadata concept
 Situations where unique security/permission are required for each
project
DOCUMENT SETS…
 Organize documents in a presentable fashion
 Allow for “light” project management without overhead of creating
multiple sites
 Allow for extensive filtering, grouping, sorting of documents

PROJECT
SITES

GREAT FOR…
 Organizations/teams that have formal PM methodology
 Organizations that need to manage more than just the documents
 Situations where unique security/permission are required for each
project
PROJECT SITES…
 Allow for standardization across organization/lines of business
 Are easy to “archive”
 Allow to surface up content usually “hidden” in Excel and Word
documents
 Allow for data roll-up/aggregation (if done properly)
Project Sites & Project Management

Project Site

Save Site as a Template
WARNING: Can’t save Sites as templates if publishing features
are turned on at Site Collection and site level!

Data Roll-ups/Aggregation
 No easy way to aggregate data from
multiple project sites
 CSWP (Content Search Web Part) or Search
Results Web Part
– Content can reside in any site collection
– Most flexible option in terms of queries
 Refinement Web Part for filtering
