Microsoft Power Platform Developer (PL-400) Training Course

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

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

• Create business applications without needing any developer experience.
• Manage and analyze flows for business solutions.
• Create flows, define triggers, add actions, and set conditions.

This live, instructor-led training in Italy (available online or onsite) targets business personnel, 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:

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

This course provides a foundational overview of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, while also offering a high-level introduction to Power BI. The curriculum is based on 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 homes under construction (utilizing SharePoint for straightforward data storage). Additionally, we will leverage Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how users can activate bots within Microsoft Teams, guiding them to documents that may be distributed across various SharePoint sites, such as loan agreements, budgets, and sales contracts (as illustrated in the course example). I recognize significant potential for these bots within HR and IT departments, particularly for addressing repetitive inquiries. Furthermore, I will guide you through configuring simple flows in Power Automate to archive attachments from designated senders (in our scenario, saving inspection reports organized by the bank for the units). We will also explore additional basic flows that capture data from Microsoft Forms, store it on SharePoint, and establish fully automated workflows using the Approvals app in Microsoft Teams. After completing the app, bot, and flow components, the final phase involves generating a straightforward Power BI report. We will use Power Automate to dispatch a snapshot of the table containing the most recently completed tasks every two weeks to a designated recipient (the bank in this instance). This report will request a drawdown, including the completion dates of the tasks and their associated budget amounts (all data collected via the app). Given the high-level nature of this course, I recommend that learners employ ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding elements or formulas in Power Apps. However, the course does cover this topic, demonstrating how to effectively utilize ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy assists users ranging from beginners to intermediate levels in gaining mastery of the Microsoft Power Platform. Through a hands-on lab environment, participants will construct custom applications, automate workflows, and apply governance best practices utilizing Power Apps and Power Automate.

This instructor-led, live training in Italy (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level IT professionals who want to utilize the Power Platform to efficiently automate processes and improve 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.

Power BI for Developers

Far beyond merely serving as a typical reporting tool, Power BI actually operates much akin to an elaborate technical platform entirely customizable through coding efforts and subsequent deployment mechanisms common across many modern enterprise infrastructures. Over four intense instructional days participants thus transition from the standard Desktop interface towards advanced engineering-related tasks directly associated with this powerful analytics instrument.

Through practical engagements utilizing tools such as REST API interfaces, Power BI Embedded functionalities, Tabular Editor and DAX Studio capabilities attendees will be competent enough to generate exceptionally optimized data structures by employing PowerShell scripts alongside Python programming approaches plus seamlessly incorporate rich analytical content within personalized application environments. The final stage emphasizes the generation of bespoke visuals using TypeScript/D3 methodologies while simultaneously incorporating continuous real-time datasets together with seamless Power Platform synchronizations.

Each individual session is designed around active participation thereby promoting immediate practical understanding culminating ultimately in a significant capstone assignment representing fully automated and professionally integrated end-to-end technical solutions.

This instructor-led educational offering can be conducted via remote online connections as well physical classroom settings; moreover we are open to customizing our curriculum according exactly your existing IT architecture plus current coding preferences adopted company-wide.
