A Power Platform governance reset

Taking an estate of ungoverned apps and flows and making it something you can support.

Illustrative. This is a walkthrough of how we run this kind of engagement, not an account of a specific client project. It carries no client and no results, because none are being claimed. Delivered work, with measured outcomes, is on the work pages.

The situation this assumes

Several years of citizen development. Nobody knows how many apps exist, several are business critical, and at least one is owned by somebody who has left.

Week by week

Weeks 1 to 3

Inventory and triage

Every app, flow and connection is listed with its owner, its usage and what it touches. Most estates split cleanly into a few that carry real load and a long tail that can be retired.

What you get

  • Full inventory of apps, flows and connections
  • Usage data and an owner against each one
  • Risk list: orphaned, business critical, or touching sensitive data
  • A keep, rebuild or retire recommendation per item
Weeks 4 to 7

Govern and rebuild

Environments get separated, policies applied, and the apps worth keeping get rebuilt properly on a designed Dataverse schema.

What you get

  • Environment strategy with development, test and production separated
  • Data loss prevention policies applied and documented
  • A Dataverse schema that was designed rather than accumulated
  • Critical apps rebuilt with named owners
Weeks 8 to 10

Hand back the keys

The point is not that we govern it. The point is that your team can, including a route for a citizen developer to get something reviewed rather than blocked.

What you get

  • A review and release process your team runs
  • Licence review against what you actually use
  • Retirement of the long tail, with sign-off
  • Documentation and enablement for your platform owner

Where this gets difficult

Retiring an app somebody quietly depends on

Nothing is retired on usage data alone. Low-usage apps get an owner check and a notice period, because the monthly regulatory report is a low-usage app.

Governance that stops all new development

If the process is slower than the workaround, people will use the workaround. The review route is designed to be faster than building it in a spreadsheet, or it has failed.

The platform owner leaves and it drifts again

The process is documented and the review is a scheduled task rather than a person's habit. That is the difference between governance and a bottleneck with a name.
