Scenario 5: Supporting team development

Supporting team development consists of multiple apps and development team members in a structured release management process. Team development includes the following:

  • Conflict and merge resolution It's important to consider which pieces will merge well and which should only be worked on by a single developer at a time, such as forms or site maps. More information: Understand how managed solutions are merged

  • Branching strategy Your branching strategy should make sure that you can service an existing release while working on the next version.

  • Environment strategy Developer isolation, and an environment strategy that supports it, is critical when multiple developers work on the same application. Environments should be short-lived and spun up on demand from the latest build. Each developer should have their own development environment in which only the required unmanaged solution is installed, and all dependent solutions are installed as managed.

  • Power Apps component library Components are reusable building blocks for canvas apps so that app makers can create custom controls to use inside an app, or across apps using the component library. More information: Component library
