Centralized document libraries have streamlined daily collaboration and improved team productivity
In terms of improvements for Sharepoint 2016, I see how it can be improved regarding performance tweaks. Limiting view columns plus items is important because each extra column adds approximately 0.5 seconds of render time for 1,000 items. I keep default views under five to six columns and fewer than 1,000 items, utilizing filters such as "today" and "me". The next point is to avoid Group By on large lists as it adds HTML and slows rendering. Collapsed groups can make it worse, but using datasheet view for bulk edits renders faster than the standard view. Implementing minimum roles plus zero downtime patching, which is built into the 2016 setup, means we should configure minimum roles correctly so web front end, application server, and search servers can do only their job and speed up farms. In terms of user experience with adoption, governance and naming can be improved. Outdated sites plus inconsistent navigation make people revert to email. Setting naming rules, archive policies, and owners helps governance protect ROI. Ensuring optimized search queries, avoiding wildcards, and limiting results will lead to three times faster answers. Pushing OneDrive for Business sync will enable people to work offline. 2016 added durable links so links do not break when files move. Cutting customizations will make non-customized pages load much faster, so removing heavy web parts and custom JavaScript on homepages is essential. Reducing IT tickets can still be enhanced within these improvements. In addition to the needed improvements regarding user training, integrations, and support, I would stress the importance of these areas. Achieving a perfect ten for Sharepoint 2016 Standard would involve addressing a few issues. The mobile user experience feels clunky versus modern, and the absence of Power Automate makes some workflows feel dated. While search is good, it is not comparable to Google for intranet use. Additionally, support ending in 2026 is a ticking clock that needs consideration.
