Overview

SharePoint intranets have a reputation for failing — not because the technology doesn't work, but because they're launched without proper planning, governance, or adoption strategy. This kit solves that. It's the playbook I use to design intranets that people actually visit.

Who it's for: IT consultants or internal IT teams building a SharePoint intranet for an SMB (50–500 users). Covers SharePoint Online (M365) and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

What You'll Get

Site Architecture Blueprint

Hub site design, communication vs. team site decisions, subsite vs. flat architecture, and content classification. Includes three reference architectures for common SMB scenarios.

Permissions & Security Model

Entra ID group strategy, SharePoint group mapping, unique permissions guidance, external sharing policy, and the principle of least privilege applied to intranet content.

Content Templates

Ready-made page templates for: company news, policy announcements, department landing pages, employee directory, FAQ, onboarding hub, and project workspace. Each with guidance on when to use it and how to customise it.

Governance Made Practical

Many intranets fail because nobody owns the content. This governance policy covers site ownership, content review cycles, archiving, naming conventions, and who gets to create new sites — without being overly bureaucratic.

Adoption & Launch Plan

Pre-launch communication, executive sponsorship guide, departmental champions programme, launch day countdown, and post-launch adoption measurement. Includes email templates for each communication milestone.

Viva Connections & Power Platform

How to integrate Viva Connections for mobile intranet access, plus Power App and Power Automate templates for common intranet workflows (leave requests, IT support ticketing, new hire onboarding).

Why This Kit?

SharePoint intranet projects stall when teams don't know where to start. This kit gives you a repeatable framework — not just documentation, but a process. Use it once and you'll use it for every client. The editable format means you can rebrand it, combine sections, or strip out what you don't need.
