Power Platform Governance Foundations: 6-Week Implementation

Move from chaotic citizen development to governed, scalable innovation. In this 6-week implementation, we establish a robust Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE) and deploy a structured framework for innovation within your organization. This service provides the essential foundation to empower your teams to innovate safely, ensuring all Power Apps, Power Automate and other Power Platform solutions are secure, compliant, and aligned with enterprise standards.

Problems Addressed:

• Uncontrolled proliferation of Power Apps and Power Automate flows, creating a "wild west" environment.
• Significant data security and compliance risks from ungoverned citizen development.
• Lack of standards, reusable components, and best practices, leading to inconsistent quality and high maintenance overhead.
• Inability of the IT department to support or scale low-code initiatives in a secure and structured manner.

Scope:

• Weeks 1-2: Foundation & Governance Design:
  • Define the charter, vision, and operating model for your CoE.
  • Design a tailored governance model, leveraging best practices from successful enterprise deployments.
  • Establish a clear environment strategy for development, testing, and production workloads.
• Weeks 3-4: Technical Implementation & Pilot Scoping:
  • Deploy, configure and customize the CoE to provide visibility and control over platform usage.
  • Configure tenant-level settings, security policies, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.
  • Collaboratively identify a high-value Power Apps pilot use case and select a citizen developer to lead its implementation.
• Weeks 5-6: Guided Pilot Development & Handover:
  • Provide hands-on support and expert guidance to the selected citizen developer as they build the pilot Power Apps solution.
  • Ensure the pilot application adheres to the newly established governance and best practices.
  • Conduct a final review and handover of the CoE foundation and the completed pilot solution.

Deliverables:

• A Deployed Power Platform CoE: A fully configured technical and operational Center of Excellence.
• Comprehensive Governance Handbook: A detailed document outlining all policies, procedures, and best practices.
• A Delivered Pilot Power Apps Solution: One functional application built by a citizen developer under our expert guidance, serving as a success story and a template for future projects.
