Microsoft Power Platform: Apps, Automation, and Governance Training Course

This instructor-led live training in India (online or onsite) is designed for business analysts who wish to automate workflows and tasks using Microsoft Flow / Power Automate.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop business applications without requiring prior developer experience.
• Manage and analyze flows to support business solutions.
• Create flows, define triggers, add actions, and set conditions.

This instructor-led, live training conducted in India (online or onsite) is aimed at business staff, managers, developers, and data analysts who wish to adapt, implement, integrate, and manage Microsoft Power Platform components and features in their organization.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Build simple applications with Power Apps to create custom solutions for everyday business needs.
• Automate workflow processes using Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow) to minimize manual and repetitive tasks.
• Create data reports and dashboards with Power BI to generate insightful analytics for the business.
• Build chatbots using Power Virtual Agents to automate and resolve common customer inquiries and issues.

This course provides a foundational understanding of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, while also offering a high-level overview of Power BI. The curriculum is structured around a real-world process I previously managed manually for a former employer. We will construct a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to monitor tasks associated with houses under construction (utilizing SharePoint for data storage to keep things simple). Subsequently, we will leverage Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how users can enable bots within Microsoft Teams to guide them to documents dispersed across various SharePoint sites, such as loan documents, budgets, and sales contracts (as illustrated in the course example). I recognize significant potential for these bots within HR and IT teams to efficiently address repetitive queries. I will also guide you through setting up straightforward flows in Power Automate to save attachments from specific senders (in our course example, saving inspection attachments arranged by the bank for the units). Additionally, we will cover other simple flows that save data from Microsoft Forms back to SharePoint and build fully automated processes using the approvals app within Microsoft Teams. Once the app, bot, and flow are complete, the final step involves creating a simple Power BI report. We will then use Power Automate to send a snapshot of the table containing the latest completed tasks every two weeks to a specific sender (in this case, the bank). This snapshot will request a drawdown, including the date the tasks were completed and the corresponding budget amounts for those tasks (all data collected within the app). Finally, please note that this course operates at a high level. I recommend that all learners utilize ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding elements or formulas in Power Apps. However, we do cover this within the course, where I demonstrate how to effectively use ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.

This instructor-led, live training in India (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level IT professionals who wish to use Power Platform to effectively automate processes and enhance data insights.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop and customize applications using Power Apps.
• Manage and analyze data with DataVerse and Power BI.
• Automate complex processes with Power Automate.
• Design and deploy intelligent chatbots using Power Virtual Agents.
• Integrate and optimize workflows across the Power Platform suite.
