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

This instructor-led live training, conducted either online or onsite, is designed for business analysts seeking to automate workflows and tasks via Microsoft Flow/Power Automate.

By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped to:

• Develop business applications without the need for prior development experience.
• Manage and assess flows for business-related solutions.
• Build flows by setting up triggers, adding actions, and configuring conditions.

This instructor-led, live training in Latvia (online or onsite) is tailored for business staff, managers, developers, and data analysts seeking to effectively adapt, implement, integrate, and manage Microsoft Power Platform components and features within their organization.

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

• Develop straightforward applications using Power Apps to craft tailored 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 the core capabilities of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, while also offering a high-level overview of Power BI. The curriculum is anchored in a real-world scenario previously managed manually by the instructor. Participants will develop a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to track construction tasks for residential builds, storing data in SharePoint for ease of use. The course then demonstrates how to implement Power Virtual Agents to guide users within Microsoft Teams, directing them to specific documents scattered across various SharePoint sites, such as loan records, budgets, and sales contracts. These bots are particularly valuable for HR and IT teams seeking to streamline the handling of repetitive inquiries. Subsequently, the instructor illustrates how to configure straightforward workflows in Power Automate, including saving attachments from specific email senders, capturing data from Microsoft Forms into SharePoint, and establishing fully automated processes using the approvals application within Microsoft Teams. Upon completing the app, bot, and workflow, the final phase involves creating a basic Power BI report. Leveraging Power Automate, participants will set up a process to send a snapshot of the latest completed tasks to a designated recipient every two weeks, including the task completion dates and associated budget amounts. As this course remains at a fundamental level, the instructor encourages learners to utilize ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding or formula construction in Power Apps, a capability explicitly covered in the course where the instructor demonstrates how to effectively leverage ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.

This live, instructor-led session held in Latvia (either online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level IT professionals looking to apply Power Platform for effective process automation and improved data insights.

By the conclusion of this training, learners will be capable of:

• Building and adapting applications via Power Apps.
• Managing and assessing data through DataVerse and Power BI.
• Automating complex procedures using Power Automate.
• Constructing and deploying smart chatbots with Power Virtual Agents.
• Integrating and optimizing workflows throughout the Power Platform suite.
