Governing Power Platform
As organizations increasingly adopt Microsoft Power Platform to empower citizen developers and accelerate digital transformation initiatives, the need for effective governance becomes paramount. Without proper governance, the proliferation of Power Apps, Power Automate flows, Power Pages, Power Virtual Agents, and Power BI reports can lead to data sprawl, security vulnerabilities, compliance risks, and inefficient use of resources.
This session offers insights into establishing robust governance frameworks tailored to the unique requirements of Power Platform deployments. Attendees will learn strategies, best practices, and tools to govern the entire lifecycle of Power Platform assets—from creation and development to deployment and maintenance.
Key topics covered in this session include:
- Understanding the components of Power Platform.
- Utilizing tools such as the Center of Excellence (CoE) toolkit.
- Understand licensing and its impact on governance and security.
- Identifying governance challenges and risks associated with Power Platform adoption.

- Providing training and support to citizen developers to promote adherence to governance policies and foster a culture of responsible app development.
By attending this session, IT professionals, business leaders, and governance stakeholders will gain actionable insights and practical strategies to govern their Power Platform deployments effectively. With a solid governance framework in place, organizations can harness the full potential of Power Platform while mitigating risks and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
