The SharePoint PnP Provisioning Engine is an open source provisioning engine allowing you, in a declarative manner, to provision artifacts to SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online. Join one of the main architects behind the engine and learn about how to use it in your own environment, what it does, what it doesn't do, and how to be more effective using it.
