In today's regulatory climate, companies cannot afford to have applications developed, or data housed, outside the boundaries of corporate oversight. Application failures lead to business process interruptions and lost revenue, and Lotus Notes applications are critical to the business. Their usefulness is reflected in the fact that many Fortune 500 companies have a significant investment in Lotus Notes and Notes applications. The trick is to tame Lotus Notes development, but not to break its spirit - to provide Just Enough IT Governance to protect the company, without discouraging Lotus Notes development altogether.
This book provides a set of policies and procedures designed to strike this balance, to provide Just Enough Governance for Lotus Notes. Firstly, it presents an IT governance philosophy for Lotus Notes that can protect the company without stifling developer initiative. Secondly, it gives IT staff and Notes developers a blueprint to implement IT governance processes and principles in the Lotus Notes environment. And finally, it takes a clear-sighted look at the future evolution of Notes and of IT governance.
With the good practices presented here, you can create a governance process as agile as Notes itself, so that your business and Notes applications will prosper together for many years to come.
This book is written by Craig Schumann who is Senior Vice President of R&D for Teamstudio. He has almost 12 years of experience with Lotus Notes and Domino®, and has worked with Notes going back to R4. Before Teamstudio, he worked at IBM/Lotus.

"This book bridges the gap between the "Wild, Wild West" environment so often seen in Notes shops, and the approval- and documentation-heavy processes you see in other IT areas. Even better, it introduces the topic of governance in such a way that most Notes developers can relate to and accept. I would highly recommend getting a copy of Just Enough Governance for Lotus Notes to make sure you're not exposing yourself and your company to unnecessary dangers. Along the way, you may just convince your IT leadership that Notes can be governed just like every other platform."
