When Azure DevOps Pipelines Gives You Lemons: Use Power Platform Pipelines
Usual scenario is that there is hurry and creating pipelines are dropped away from project early in sales phase or at least in rushed UAT testing and production release. Finally, the DevOps pipelines are done, but consultants are too afraid to use them or cannot find the error messages. It would be better to have “some” pipelines, but IT and technical persons belittles Power Platform pipelines. This session will provide exploration of both Azure DevOps pipelines and Power Platform pipelines.
Main thing is that if you have only one development environment, DevOps pipelines features will never be used since there is always one package going from one environment to another. This session demonstrates scenarios where there could be multiple development environments and DevOps pipelines compared to more streamlined scenario, where there is only one dev, test and prod environment.
Session outcome will present the corner stones when to select Power Platform or DevOps pipelines. There is no point of shoot a fly with a cannon just because preparing to possible integration and automated testing scenarios on some other phase which is not actually decided yet. Power Platform pipelines have it’s advantages, Copilot notes from the solutions and user friendly user interface. Coming Dataverse and Git integration will also remove doubts that source codes won’t we available with Power Point pipelines.
Key Takeaways:
• Understand the core functionalities and features of Azure DevOps pipelines and Power Platform pipelines.
• Learn the advantages and disadvantages with different amount of development environments.
• Gain practical experience through hands-on demonstrations and setup guidance.
• Discover best practices and lessons learned from real-world case studies.
Join us for this insightful session to deepen your understanding of Azure DevOps and Power Platform pipelines and learn how to choose and implement the best solutions for your organization's needs.

Mastering Power Automate Flows: Advanced Techniques and Best Practices
Developing efficient and reliable Power Automate flows is crucial for business automation and productivity. This session addresses the challenges and solutions for creating advanced Power Automate flows.
Key Takeaways:
• Master iterative development for easier debugging
• Implement child flows and 'run only' user settings
• Configure dynamic responses in child flows
• Implement robust logging and error handling strategies
• Handle errors with pre-termination responses
• Use trigger actions and Terminate functions effectively
• Manage "Save and close" in model-driven apps
• Bypass offline profiles for uninterrupted automation
• Set up custom spam prevention settings
• Leverage AI models like GPT for automation
• Manage approval flows in Teams or out-of-the-box
This advanced session on Power Automate flows is aimed at experienced users. The workshop will cover:
• Iterative development and debugging techniques
• Child flows and 'run only' user settings
• Logging and error handling strategies
• AI integration for prompt data operations
• Approval flows in Teams channels
Participants will learn methods to build and iterate Power Automate flows for simplified debugging, break down complex workflows into manageable parts, and understand the setup of child flows and the concept of 'run only' users for secure execution of tasks. The session will also cover configuring child flows to respond before the parent flow concludes, enabling dynamic automation solutions.
The session will include interactive demonstrations, real-world examples, and opportunities for audience participation to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topics covered.

Are you f***** if you don’t have Power Apps licenses – ALM for DV4F
There are requirements for Canvas App and Dataverse tables but there is no money for licenses – what to do?
You should consider Dataverse for Teams (DV4T) solution which needs for developer and users just license that gives you access to Teams.
If you wish to develop with DV4T, you should still include Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), so that you can take you your solution into test environment and production like normal Power Platform projects. When creating the first version directly to production there is no problem but what happens when you develop it further?
This session offers professional way of creation manual ALM for DV4T solutions. When there is no other possibility than using browser-based Teams embedded solution, it should be done the proper way. Session is workshop demonstrating the creation of and simple Canvas App consuming Dataverse tables. Demo includes creation of environments and solution package installation from dev to test to production.
💡 Key Takeaways:
• Setup & Configuration: Step-by-step guide to setting up your development environment and first solution1.
• Environment Management: Best practices for creating and managing DEV, TEST, and PROD environments.
• Solution Movement: Understand the nuances of moving solutions in DV4T, including the differences between unmanaged and managed solutions.
• Deletion Strategies: Efficiently delete unmanaged solutions without manual hassle.
