Learn more about the ALM Accelerator

The ALM Accelerator for Power Platform includes a canvas app that sits on top of Azure Pipelines and Git source control. The app provides a simplified interface for makers to export their Power Platform solutions to source control and have their work reviewed before deploying to target environments as part of an organization's application lifecycle management (ALM) strategy.

The ALM Accelerator complements our Power Platform ALM guidance and was originally developed to facilitate ALM for our own CoE Starter Kit team. We're sharing and open-sourcing it to help you apply ALM patterns and practices to your Power Platform solutions. You can use the ALM Accelerator as-is, customize it to meet your requirements, or as a reference implementation to see how we addressed ALM scenarios.
