Governance

This is probably one of the most recurring topics in the Power Platform: Licensing. Instead of discussing the various plans available, or whether making Managed Environments more accessible could actually bring more benefits to both Microsoft and their customers, we’ll jump right into a very practical question: How can CoEs Read more…

One of the key requirements for any platform governance is visibility. For an organization to be able to govern the usage of any technology, they will need visibility over it. For this, they will need access to inventory and usage telemetry data. But… Gathering the data only is far from Read more…

I previously shared this Copilot Studio Governance article where I explain that I did not find any suitable and out-of-the-box-solution to programmatically delete Copilot Studio Bots as Admin.

This topic is close to my heart, as it is key when working in a Power Platform CoE. How can we centrally manage reusable components, such as Component Libraries, Custom Connectors, or Child Flows, and deploy them to multiple environments to further Empower Makers?
