Introduction
Managing a modern low-code platform at enterprise scale requires more than just building apps and automating workflows. Organizations need structured controls, consistent security policies, clear visibility into how the platform is being used, and a reliable process for promoting solutions from development through to production. Microsoft Power Platform provides a comprehensive set of governance and administration capabilities designed to meet all of these requirements.
Imagine you work in IT administration at Contoso, a large manufacturing company that has recently expanded its use of Power Platform across multiple departments. Dozens of makers are building canvas apps, Power Automate flows, and Copilot Studio agents. Leadership wants assurance that sensitive data is protected, that IT retains oversight of what is being built and shared, and that high-quality solutions can be deployed to production reliably. This module walks you through the tools and concepts that make this kind of governed, scalable Power Platform adoption possible.
