What is SharePoint Governance to You?

What is Governance? Depending on who you ask, I’m sure you could come up with a thousand different answers. Dictionary.com lists governance as “a method or system of government or management or the exercising of control.” So when I think of governance in the SharePoint realm, I think of it as managing or maintaining a model that we as end users have to live by. As we all know, everything is all about permissions. Here is where governance comes into play. Actually, it kind of reminds me of the TV Show “Get Smart.” When there is no control, chaos is bound to occur.
