TL;DR
SharePoint classic dependencies such as alerts, Script Editor web parts, provider-hosted add-ins, ACS authentication and legacy workflows can break business processes when Microsoft retires them. Create a dependency inventory, prioritize critical processes, retire unnecessary sites, modernize simple pages, rebuild complex solutions and use governed notification patterns such as Power Automate.

Governance takeaway
- Admins/CoE: Inventory classic pages, templates, alerts, scripts, add-ins, ACS dependencies and legacy workflows, then prioritize them by business criticality rather than site count.
- Security/Compliance: Use modernization to reset information architecture, lifecycle management, audit readiness and access models, because legacy components can create governance gaps and audit headaches.
- Leadership/Business: Include HR, finance, operations, platform owners and process experts in decisions, because hidden dependencies can cause missing notifications, failed automation and disrupted business workflows.
