Not all solutions are the same complexity, criticality, size so we can’t, or more importantly shouldn’t, look to govern them all in a single way. Small solutions should be governed lightly, more critical or sensitive solutions should be governed robustly.

In v2 of this scalable governance model this model gives an improved method of defining a common language and a standard way of assessing and defining action around different scales of ideas, use cases, and solutions, whilst giving flexibility to apply it to any organisation, in any industry, at any scale.

How do we define a vision and strategy for our Power Platform Implementation? Then break that down into a roadmap of goals which we can translate down into a series of aligned activities to achieve our vision over time.

So… Where to start… The approach I’m going to use to break this down is to talk about Vision, Strategy, Roadmap, and OKRs and we’re going to think about Power Platform in our organisation as a ‘Product’ rather than a ‘Project’.

When we tend to talk about ‘Value’ we usually hear conversations about how much time the thing saves… How much lower costs are… How output has been increased… How quality has been improved… These are all types of value and they’re all valid an important. But there’s more to consider here… MUCH more!

In this post I’m going to explain how I think about value of the power platform and how we maximise it!

Once size doesn’t fit all with governance! What might be right for one ‘Size’ of solution may be drastically over bureaucratic for another.

Using a scalable governance model, that can be understood and followed by anyone in an organisation!

Power Platform Enablement is the framework and approach we set and follow to systematically unlock the value of the Power Platform. Using some of the principles of more traditional change management approaches, coupled with ‘Viral Change’ techniques we can help change behaviours and support the success of Citizen Developers!

Have you considered how a Centre of Excellence (CoE) and Centre of Enablement (CoEn) are critical to enabling value from the Power Platform in an organisation? Just having the platform configured safely and securely isn’t enough. We need to also unlock value!
