Summary
As you explore the concepts of SharePoint Governance, you need to keep in mind the goals the organization has for adopting SharePoint in the first place. These usually include ease of use, business efficiency, new capabilities, security, and legal and compliance issues. You should strive to balance the need for control against the need for flexibility.
In the end, the success or failure of a SharePoint system is determined by its users. If the system makes their lives easier, everybody wins. This is why effective SharePoint governance is governance OF the users, BY the users and FOR the users!
