The picture below shows the final PowerBi report for the starter Kit. The end result provides insights on a sophisticated PowerBI report.

Data shown on that report can provide:

1. Standardized governance and best practices-

The Starter Kit provides guidance on establishing a standardized governance framework and best practices for Power Platform implementation. This helps ensure that all users are following the same guidelines and using the tools in a consistent manner.

2. Accelerated implementation

The COE Starter Kit includes pre-built templates for governance, change management, and other processes critical to the success of a Power Platform implementation. These templates can save organizations a lot of time and effort in setting up their own processes from scratch. Some of the examples of pre-built templates are Admin | Sync Templates, Admin Cleanup Templates etc. For example, the “CLEANUP – Admin | Sync Template v3 (Orphaned Makers)” flow runs weekly and checks if any makers have left the organization – if maker information cannot be found in Azure AD/Office 365 Users, any resources created by the maker (apps, cloud and desktop flows, environments, chatbots) are marked as orphaned.

3. Increased efficiency and productivity

With a COE in place, organizations can streamline their Power Platform implementation process, reducing the time and effort required to deploy new applications and workflows. This helps to increase efficiency and productivity across the entire organization.

4. Improved collaboration and communication

The Starter Kit includes templates for creating a Power Platform governance team and communication plan. This helps to improve collaboration and communication between stakeholders, including IT, business users, and executives. These tools can help organizations share knowledge, ask questions, and collaborate on projects.

5. Reduced risk and increased security

The COE Starter Kit provides guidance on security and compliance best practices, helping to reduce the risk of data breaches or other security issues. It also provides recommendations for monitoring and managing user access to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive data.

6. Greater flexibility and scalability

The Power Platform COE Starter Kit is designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing organizations to adapt their implementation approach as needed based on changing business requirements. This ensures that the organization can continue to benefit from Power Platform as its needs evolve over time.

7. Ongoing Support

Microsoft provides ongoing support for the COE Starter Kit, including regular updates and new resources. This means that organizations can continue to benefit from the latest best practices and tools for implementing the Power Platform.
