Summary

Completed

You can now evaluate Power Platform solution requirements and select implementable component approaches within an approved architecture. You identify out-of-the-box options, logic and data placement, identity and access constraints, and suitable user experiences for people and agents.

What you learned

  • You break a requirement into its data, logic, security, integration, and user-experience components. Then you check each one against Dataverse's standard tables, business rules, and templates, before reaching for customization or custom code.
  • You match business logic to where it needs to run, from Power Fx and business rules through plug-ins and cloud flows. You also choose between standard, virtual, and elastic tables for the data behind it. You reserve an agentic approach for genuinely ambiguous input, rather than a deterministic check.
  • You specify component-level identity and access requirements within the approved model. You assess how managed environments and data policies constrain implementation, apply approved roles, teams, business units, and row sharing, and escalate changes to organization-level controls.
  • You match each interaction to a user-experience technology. Options range from code apps and generative pages to web resources, Power Apps component framework controls, app assistant agents, and MCP app widgets (both still in preview). You also weigh Microsoft Copilot Studio against Microsoft Foundry when an interaction calls for an agent.
