1. Putting the DEV in Citizen DEVeloper
with the Microsoft Power Platform
No longer is rapid application development out of
reach for non-developers. If you understand the
business process well enough and you're affected
by the inefficiencies, then you can make a
difference. Spending a couple of minutes to build a
workflow, once, could save you a couple of minutes,
every day of the year.
In this session Tracy will share:
• Getting started with Power Automate, Power
Apps, SharePoint & Microsoft Lists
• Quick win solutions
• Co-innovation with other Microsoft | Office
365 apps and services
• Supporting your citizen developers
If you're new to the world of workflows, form
designers and application builders then this session
will open your eyes to opportunities to improve as
well as faith in your own abilities to do so.
