This chapter's focus has been where to apply SharePoint's functionality to business activities, with relevant business scenarios and functionality tips to help you decide which lists, libraries, and site to use for different purposes, and how and when to use them. The chapter covered only a few department scenarios and their challenges, but you can get a sense as to how to apply functionality to a department's business collaboration processes.

Further application of SharePoint functionality is discussed in the next chapter, where you will see how SharePoint's functionality can be applied to lists, libraries, notifications, search, pages, team sites, and My Sites.
