This session tells the story of what it actually takes to make a low code Power Platform solution safe enough to run alongside a global Dynamics 365 F&O and CE transformation inside a FTSE organisation.

Delivered jointly by a client-side hands-on Microsoft Test Manager and the client's Project Operations consultant (with focus on Dynamics 365 CE), the session sits at the point where delivery pressure, financial accountability and engineering reality collide. It moves beyond theory and showcases how a Power Platform (PPM) solution was designed, governed and tested to provide operational truth ahead of a multi country D365 rollout.

The session explores how spreadsheet-driven programme control was replaced with live, trusted data and why most PPM style apps fail when they prioritise visual polish over decision grade accuracy. It covers the practical challenges of modelling cost, revenue and margin, the trade offs made between speed and control, and the hidden risks low code introduces around calculations, permissions, logic sprawl and environment drift.

A strong focus is placed on testing and assurance. You will hear what actually broke late in the programme, why UAT alone was insufficient for a financial control app, and how calculations, historical data, role based views and edge cases were validated before the platform was trusted by leadership.
