Every intranet project has things in common with all other projects and custom functionalities to be implemented for that single project. In this session we will explore the "PnP SharePoint Starter Kit" and we'll see what it offers and how to use it in creating an intranet project, taking advantage of the work already done by the PnP team in terms of architecture and the components that have already been made.
