Low-code Governance Strategy Workshop

Overview The Low-code Governance Strategy workshop consists of three phases. The engagement is run as a one to multi-day workshop that will prepare clients for effective governance, security, and operations of their low-code platform. The workshop is facilitated by experts who assess the client's current state and define a governance, operations, and community strategy for successful Microsoft Power Platform adoption at scale.

Workshop Outcomes

1. Successful design: A comprehensive governance plan that covers all necessary concepts, enabling clients to make informed decisions on maintaining and building on the platform.
2. Confidence in outcomes: Guidance based on real-world experience and the subject matter expertise of Microsoft solution architects.
3. Recognizing and articulating tradeoffs and risks: Clearly articulated tradeoffs and possible risks and assessment of compromises.
4. Continuous Improvement: Continuous improvement through routine assessment of the maturity of client's adoption against the provided guidance. Governance is seen as an evolving score that changes with the workload, and the workshop prepares clients with the tools to enable this continuous improvement.

1. Prepare • Identify key decision maker stakeholders • Review the current Power Platform maturity • Review business operation challenges • Analyze the Pre-Engagement Questionnaire • Prepare for the Plan to Empower phase

Goals The primary goal of the workshop is to achieve confidence in a governance strategy through a proactive approach that allows transparency and visibility while working on the Microsoft Power Platform.

For the best experience and impact, both key IT Decision Makers and key decision influencers should be in attendance (at least three individuals) to ensure an inclusive and thorough conversation around strategic alignment and low-code patterns of value.

Collaboratively, we will bridge the gap between personal productivity and full enterprise mode by moving from basic capabilities to the full platform with AI and best practices in place.
