Upgrade readiness card
A short preflight list for an upgrade or migration. It covers content copies, rollback evidence, service checks and the questions to settle before a change window.
ULS triage card
A disciplined sequence for reading SharePoint logs: define the symptom, choose a time window, follow the correlation identifier and record the evidence.
Study map for exam 70 667
A topic map and revision routine for the SharePoint 2010 configuration exam. It is a study aid, not a copy of the exam or a guarantee of a result.
How to use the shelf
- Copy the relevant sheet into the change record or incident ticket.
- Replace the prompts with evidence from the actual environment.
- Keep the completed copy with the farm record rather than in a personal folder.
