Our five-part blog series discusses the maturity of Microsoft PowerApps, along with the best training and tips for using the platform.<\/h2>\n

In a traditional enterprise-level organization, you have many tools and strategies available to you when developing, designing, testing, and managing code bases for your applications.<\/p>\n

Methodologies such as Agile, Source Code Management such as GitHub, and IDE\u2019s like Visual Studio empower developers through the application life-cycle in the most efficient way possible. Microsoft PowerApps is reaching this point, but their tools are still immature when it comes to enterprise development and management.<\/p>\n

Remember, PowerApps was designed for business users to create their own mobile apps. That is the core audience. In a perfect world that would hold true, but what experience tells me is those business users:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A. Don\u2019t always want to learn how to make apps.<\/p>\n

B. Don\u2019t want to devote time to learning PowerApps.<\/p>\n

C. Don\u2019t want to be responsible for supporting any created apps, if A and B don\u2019t apply to them.<\/p>\n

So, realistically, most organizations will turn to IT departments for the development and management of these authorized PowerApps that will run in the organization.<\/p>\n

I have outlined my thoughts and strategies to help you be effective in designing, creating, testing, and supporting PowerApps in your organization.<\/strong> The training and tips I mention will help you navigate the capabilities that Microsoft PowerApps provides. (Please note: This is in no way indicative of Microsoft\u2019s view of how to go about this. It’s based on my own experience with PowerApps).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
