Power Platform Governance
With powerful low-code tools, anyone can step into the role of a developer. However, granting full administrative access to your organization’s business data and applications is not something everyone should have. How can you strike a balance between fostering creativity and maintaining control over administrative duties?
Governance is essential to the Power Platform Adoption journey
Low-code systems often arise organically, emerging naturally due to everyday business operations. Unlike traditional IT systems, which are typically implemented through top-down planning with clearly assigned responsibilities, low-code systems prioritize quick action over extensive planning. While this approach delivers rapid value, planning and coordination will eventually be necessary to ensure these systems become a sustainable part of the organization’s information infrastructure.
Are you aware of who is building what, where, and why?
Without established governance practices for the Power Platform, technical debt can quickly accumulate, potentially leading to business disruptions.
Businesses must determine which apps and automation systems require attention. This may be necessary if the original creators are no longer with the company, if the solution has failed, if critical business data is being processed in non-compliant ways, or if licensing requirements have been overlooked. Where should you start?
