Planning phase

Planning is the most important part of the app-making process. When planning, you should consider the following:

• What problem will the app solve?

• Who will use this app?

• What goals and objectives will it meet for users?

Knowing the answers helps you stay on track when you design the app. It's easy to fall into the trap of making the app as the objective, rather than solving the issue.

In this section, you'll learn about:

• Identifying the business problem to solve (the use case)

• Deeply understanding the business process

• Optimizing the business process with your solution

• Deciding whether it's worthwhile to automate the process

• Creating a project plan

Note

The planning information covered here is also applicable for Power Automate users who are planning to automate their processes or tasks. You can find detailed information about planning a Power Automate project in the Power Automate guidance documentation: Planning a Power Automate Project
