Microsoft Power Platforms Center of Excellence (CoE) Project

​​​Establishing a Microsoft Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE) means investing in and nurturing organic growth while maintaining governance and control. A CoE is designed to drive innovation and improvement, and as a central function it can break down geographic and organizational silos. A CoE can be a powerful way for an organization to align around business goals rather than individual department metrics.

 A key principle is to clarify why you're setting up a CoE, what you aim to accomplish, and the key business outcomes you hope to achieve. Then get started, and learn and evolve along the way. For many, the CoE is the first step in fostering greater creativity and innovation across the organization by empowering business units to digitize and automate their business processes, while maintaining the necessary level of central oversight and governance. 

A Center of Excellence (CoE) is an area designed to drive innovation and improvement of the organization’s processes through the development of Power Platform solutions.
A CoE must evolve during the organization’s transformation process, empowering its users to automate and improve solutions.

The main functions are:
   1. Detect solutions to be developed.
   2. Prioritize
   3. Empower users to develop their own solutions.
   4. Estimate the time needed to put a solution into production.
   5. Develop the proposed solution.
   6. Govern the Power Platform.

A CoE is a group of different profiles, such as Developers or Makers, Architects, Team Leaders, and Project Managers

Dashboard
: The Power BI dashboard provides a holistic overview with visualizations and insights into resources in your tenant: environments, apps, Power Automate flows, connectors, connection references, makers, and audit logs. Telemetry from the audit log is stored from the moment you set up the Center of Excellence (CoE) Starter Kit, so you can look back and identify trends over time.
