Roadmap

Roadmap for PnP

Currently we are lacking lot of critical elements to match the shared content with the classic Patterns & Practices term, but we wanted to share the existing program content right away, rather than wait for the months and months on getting it out, so that elements which are useful can be already used.

These are the areas where we will be concentrating on upcoming months from technical perspective.

• REST API samples
• Office client side patterns
• Office 365 API patterns
• Logging for core component

PnP provisioning engine roadmap (help wanted)

• On-premises support (testing still needed)
• Updating of existing artifacts / deltas
• Ability to provision workflows
• Support for DocumentSet
• Custom security groups
• Item/Folder-level permissions
• Resume provisioning support in case of an exception

Here's also some non-code or technical topics in our radar where help would be appreciated

• General development guidance aligned with the product and service roadmap
• Application Life Cycle for app model
• Design patterns for App model based implementation
• Transformation guidance for existing customizations
• App model impact for enterprise architecture
• Content migration for app model implementation

We need your help on this to ensure that content is relevant for the field. If you have commitment and willingness to help the SharePoint community on this journey, please join us on this journey by contributing to the GitHub or simply by providing feedback using SharePoint Developer Group at Microsoft Tech Community. Your input is vital for the success of this program.

Note also that especially for the provider hosted app side, all the generic .NET and ASP.net P&P guidance also applies, so check the Patterns and Practices center in the MSDN for the generic building blocks and patterns.
