I was curious if there is anywhere in this wiki where people have talked about how they set up Confluence successfully in their organization.
Things like:
- Did you align the spaces to different business units? (ie marketing has a space, IT has a space etc.)
- Did people have separate spaces for business processes, news etc?
I am trying to figure out the best way to organize our wiki (at least to start with) so that it is easy to navigate and people will use it.
I am also trying to figure out the business rules around who can do what.
- Do you follow the traditional managment hierarchy and let managers have supreme edit access?
Seems to me that this may not be the best way as you want to encourage employees to contribute.
- Are employees on the same level of edit access with managers?
- Do you appoint a space admin?
These are just some of the things I am wrestling with as i dig through the site... I was hoping to get some high level advice from others who have implemented this successfully.
Also once a person chooses a specific layout, is it hard to make major modifications to it? Moving pages from one space to another... Deleting spaces and creating new ones etc.
