The Governance Plan
What is governance?
Governance is the set of policies, roles, responsibilities, and processes that direct and control how business users, developers, and IT teams within an organization collaborate to achieve business objectives.
What is the governance plan?
The governance plan is based on guidance and discovery work around the different control and security capabilities of Power Platform, carried out together with the relevant departments within the organization.
Through the governance plan, configuration guidelines are established to achieve the ideal balance between security and application development best practices, aligning them with business needs. Policies are consolidated across the organization’s key departments, both within service management (IT) and the business areas that use the technology (including IT).
Who is Power Platform governance aimed at?
Business and technical users
Power Platform services are designed so that both business users (citizen developers) and technical users (pro developers) can improve company processes by leveraging these tools.
IT Departments
IT departments need to monitor the platform in order to support users in its usage, manage errors, and even prevent the consumption of unnecessary resources.
