Plan
During the planning stage, IT professionals have different needs depending on their role within an organization. If you are focused on designing a solution, including determining the structure, capabilities, and information architecture for a site, you might want information that helps you to determine which capabilities of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 you want to take advantage of, and that helps you to plan for those capabilities and to tailor the solution to your organization's needs. On the other hand, if you are focused on the hardware and network environment for your solution, you might want information that helps you to structure the server topology, plan authentication methods, and understand system requirements for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. We have planning content, including worksheets, to address both of these needs.
