Like Bees in a Hive
Governance Keeps Everything Thriving!
Why Governance Matters 🚀
Effective governance ensures security, compliance, and scalability in your Power Platform environment. Just like a well-structured city, governance provides rules, safeguards, and best practices that keep everything running smoothly—empowering users while maintaining control.
In a beehive, every bee has a role, working in harmony under a structured system. This natural governance ensures efficiency, security, and long-term sustainability—just like a well-governed Power Platform environment. With the right governance in place, innovation thrives without chaos.
Governance & Security
Establish a secure, compliant, and well-managed Power Platform environment.
Implement a structured environment strategy (e.g., Dev, Test, Prod) to ensure controlled deployments.
Enforce data loss prevention (DLP) policies to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized data access.
Utilize role-based access control (RBAC) to assign appropriate permissions for makers, developers, and administrators.
Enable audit logging and monitoring to track changes, detect anomalies, and maintain compliance.
Standardize naming conventions and lifecycle management for environments to improve visibility and maintenance.
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
Streamline development, deployment, and maintenance of Power Platform solutions.
Define clear environment tiers (Development, QA, Production) to support a structured release process.
Utilize managed solutions for deploying apps and automations, ensuring controlled updates.
Leverage Power Platform Pipelines or Azure DevOps for automated deployments and version control.
Maintain governance policies for citizen developers, ensuring best practices are followed while empowering users.
Implement backup and recovery strategies to minimize downtime and prevent data loss.
Innovation & User Enablement
Foster adoption, innovation, and continuous improvement within the organization.
Create dedicated environments for innovation and prototyping to encourage experimentation.
Develop citizen developer training programs to empower business users while maintaining governance.
Implement Center of Excellence (CoE) practices to promote best practices, reusability, and scalability.
Utilize analytics and insights (e.g., Power BI reports) to track adoption and optimize performance.
Encourage collaboration between IT and business units to align technology with business needs.
