Our session sits squarely where operational delivery, engineering decisions and assurance responsibilities intersect. It moves away from theory and focuses on how a Power Platform (PPM) solution was designed, governed and tested to establish reliable operational control ahead of a multi country Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O (incl. HR) & CE rollout for a market leader.

The session examines the shift from limitations and programme oversight to live, decision grade data, and why many specifically-designed solutions fail when visual appeal is prioritised over accuracy and trust. It explores the practical realities of modelling cost, revenue and margin in Dataverse, the compromises required between pace and control, and the less visible risks introduced by low code, including calculations, permissions, logic sprawl and environment drift.

Testing and assurance form a central theme. The session covers what failed late in delivery, why UAT alone was inadequate for a financially critical platform, and how calculations, historical data, role based views and edge cases were validated before the solution was relied upon by senior leadership.

The session closes with candid hindsight. What we would change if building again, where Power Platform exceeded expectations or fell short, and what must be in place from day one if a low code PPM solution is expected to survive enterprise scale, regulatory scrutiny and a global D365 programme.
