I get it. You have an awesome idea for an app and want to dive in. The tools (and now Copilots) provided by the Power Platform just make it soooo easy for makers to dive and start building powerful business applications.

But wait, a bit of pre-planning might save hours of refactoring and dealing with technical debt down the road.

Planning and designing your data model is a crucial early step and investing the time early will result in successful applications.

This session goes through the various aspects in properly designing a data model, how to effectively use AI to help the design process and also apply experience and common sense.

Highlights of this presentation:
- Strategies for identifying objects, attributes and relationships of real-world concepts.
- Considerations for managing 100s, 1000s or maybe even millions of records?
- How is the data being added, maintained, archived?
- What kind of app is this going to be? A Power App, Power Pages site, custom? What about offline capabilities?
- What kind of crazy automation requirements will your app need? Can Power Automate handle your crazy data model?

Join this session for an entertaining tutorial and maybe a few horror stories that go beyond drawing boxes and lines on a whiteboard.

I will need a white board to draw boxes and lines. (Just kidding).
