Managing Sprawl in Microsoft 365

How content sprawl happens, why it matters, and steps every IT leader should take to avoid it.
Sprawl happens when anyone and everyone can create a site or team, usually without oversight, planning, or any kind of formal training, resulting in dozens/hundreds of rarely used or abandoned sites and teams, a poorly-performing search experience, and your intellectual property (content and conversations) spread across multiple locations each with a maze of chats, files, and channels.
Sprawl can impact the user experience, make search difficult, and exasperate company content lifecycle plans, as well as security and compliance requirements.
