SharePoint Framework

Overview:

Introduction:

The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a structured development model used within Microsoft 365 environments to extend and customize SharePoint platforms through client side elements. It provides a standardized architecture for creating modular, scalable, and enterprise compliant solutions integrated with organizational content systems. This training program focuses on the development structure, deployment governance, and configuration processes specific to SPFx. It presents institutional models, architectural layers, and coordination frameworks for managing SharePoint development within regulated digital ecosystems.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Identify the structural elements of the SharePoint Framework development model.

• Classify architectural layers and extension types within SPFx environments.

• Analyze deployment structures, governance settings, and integration procedures.

• Evaluate coordination models for content, permissions, and enterprise configuration.

• Review standardized procedures for documentation, testing, and version control.

Targeted Audience:

• SharePoint Developers.

• Microsoft 365 Administrators.

• Digital Solution Architects.

• Enterprise Content Managers.

• IT Governance and Platform Officers.
