ou're never really going to get a unified document as it'll almost certainly end up with things that aren't relevant.  Some basic questions would be: -

• Are you using Performance Point?


• Are you using Standard or Enterprise?


• What version of SQL Server do you have?


• Are you integrating Reporting Services into your deployment?


• Are you using any major third party products from guys like Metalogix, AvePoint etc.


• Have you any internal customisations?

All of these would represent deviations from one deployment to the next.  You'd be best served reading widely around the current set-up that you have, reading the link that Bogdan provided and looking at MVP/Support Engineer blogs
