From Plan to Production: Shipping a Power Platform Solution in One Day

Luc Labelle

Luc Labelle

CEO at Kabesa (MVP, MCT)

What if you could turn a business problem into a fully deployed Power Platform solution—in just one day? With AI‑assisted planning, solution templates, environment variables, and managed pipelines, this is no longer aspirational—it’s real. In this accelerated, end‑to‑end session, we’ll start with a problem described in natural language and use Microsoft’s latest tooling to instantly generate the architecture, schema, apps, flows, and data model. Then we’ll refine the solution using enterprise‑grade practices: environment variables, connection references, managed solutions, pipelines, and secure data patterns informed by real‑world delivery work. You’ll learn how to validate architecture quickly, apply governance and security guardrails, automate deployment, and bake monitoring into the final product. You’ll leave with a repeatable framework your team can use to ship high‑quality, production‑ready Power Platform solutions at speed—without compromising compliance, performance, or long‑term maintainability. If your organization wants faster delivery, fewer blockers, and more business impact, this session shows exactly how to get there.

The Microsoft Power Platform facilitates rapid organizational agility, but uncontrolled growth creates environment sprawl, critical DLP failures, and mounting technical debt. This masterclass, presented by Gokan and Mike, is for Power Platform Administrators, Citizen Developers, CoE Leads, and Enterprise Architects, focused on maximizing innovation while rigorously controlling premium service consumption.

We move beyond foundational strategy to implement sophisticated control mechanisms utilizing premium features. This includes deploying Managed Environments for granular security and access control. A significant focus will be placed on the design and implementation of Advanced Data Policies to enforce least privilege, and on the Environment Strategy. Finally, we establish guardrails for Premium Feature Governance, track usage of AI Builder credits, monitor RPA, and optimize Power Platform Request consumption to manage costs. Attendees will leave with a technical blueprint for a mature governance framework that leverages premium features to become a strategic technical enabler for secure, scalable innovation.

Digital Workplace Advisor | MVP, MCT | she, her

In this Session Lindsay Shelton shares, how she implemented a Power Platform Governance in her company with zero experience.

She shares her journey with you and shows how to come up with a flexible, yet firm, governance, including policies, procedures, and guidelines. By attending this session, you will learn the importance of providing the right governance guardrails for your end users, and what steps you need to follow to get your governance in place.
