0:03 hey makers this is druveen and today i
0:05 am going to talk about coe starter kit
0:07 co starter kit most of us have heard
0:11 this word coe means center of excellence
0:12 now the question arises in our mind that
0:15 what do we mean by coe toolkit what does
0:17 it offer and how it is useful at
0:20 organizational level in this 10 minutes
0:22 video i am going to give you the overall
0:24 idea about co starter kit and what does
0:27 it offer at organizational level in this
0:29 episode i am not going to talk about the
0:31 installation part and how you can
0:34 install the packages step by step if you
0:35 are looking for those videos just
0:37 provide your feedback in the comments
0:39 section so i will create a dedicated
0:42 series on co starter kit before we get
0:44 started with the co stratocate in detail
0:45 if you haven't followed me on my
0:48 instagram and twitter so far please do
0:50 follow me
0:51 so without further delay let's get
0:54 started and talk about why co starter kit
0:55 kit
0:57 so first of all let me talk about the
1:00 current issues that most of the admin
1:02 faces at this moment
1:03 the organizations who are adopting the
1:05 power platform with time being the
1:07 number of flows and number of powerapps
1:09 are increasing
1:11 with that there are many equations arise
1:14 at organizational level that how they
1:16 will manage everything how many power
1:18 apps and power automate flow they do
1:20 have how they can track all the information
1:21 information
1:23 how they can support the user for
1:25 different environment different power
1:26 apps or different power automatic
1:28 related thing
1:30 how they can manage alm how they can set
1:32 up a different environment do they
1:34 really need to hire someone in order to
1:37 manage all this asset
1:38 what about compliance what about
1:40 governance what about data loss
1:42 prevention policies what happens if
1:44 someone left the organization these are
1:47 the major question as an organizational
1:51 owner or as an admin any organizations
1:52 person will have
1:56 now the one answer for this question is
1:59 coe starter kit means center of
2:02 excellence starter kit so now let me
2:05 talk about what do we mean by coe
2:07 if i explain the coe in a simple term
2:10 the meaning is a place where highest
2:12 standards are maintained
2:14 co studicate is a collection of
2:17 components that help us for developing a
2:19 strategy for adopting and supporting
2:21 power platform
2:24 co toolkit is a collection of component
2:26 now what do we mean by those components
2:29 co starter kit has built upon five major
2:31 building block based on administration
2:34 governance nurture theming innovation
2:37 and backlog now let me talk about each
2:40 individual component in detail also if i
2:42 talk about the technical aspect of on
2:44 this building block it is something that
2:46 is available as a managed solution in
2:48 power platform basically in your power
2:52 platform environment you need to install
2:54 all the solution and they will be
2:56 looking like this over here you can see
2:58 the different installed component of
2:59 center of excellence
3:02 now let's talk about each individual
3:04 component in detail and let's see what
3:06 it is offer
3:08 now first of all let me talk about the
3:10 administration component in detail
3:12 the main purpose of administration
3:15 component is to define mainly admin
3:16 related activities
3:18 it is a one-stop solution to manage all
3:20 your environments
3:22 flows powerapps and power virtual agent
3:26 chatbot it provides you one power bi
3:28 dashboard from where you can manage everything
3:29 everything
3:32 along with that it allows you to manage
3:34 the dlp policies inside the power apps itself
3:35 itself
3:37 you can manage the different sort of
3:41 permission across the apps using this module
3:42 module
3:45 also it provides the approval process
3:47 for creating the environment
3:49 so these are the different
3:52 administration tasks which can be
3:55 managed easily with the powerapps now
3:56 how it is improve the business
3:59 productivity so let's say for an example
4:01 at this moment what happened here is uh
4:04 let's say if co is not in place and one
4:05 of the user want to create one
4:08 environment so what does he do is he
4:10 will directly connect with the admin of
4:13 the power platform and he tell him that
4:14 you know i need to create this
4:16 environment just please create for me
4:19 and admin will create for it now this
4:22 conversation has been done by the either
4:24 via email or either in the teams chat or
4:26 either in any other way so there is no
4:29 track for that now with the co toolkit
4:31 in place what happened here is this
4:34 process is managed step by step so what
4:36 happen here is if anyone is looking for
4:38 an environment they need to fill out the
4:41 request for an environment
4:43 they need to mention the clear purpose
4:45 of creating the environment so that
4:48 admin will also have a track on like why
4:50 we created this environment and it's
4:52 totally based on the approval process
4:54 admin can approve it an environment will
4:57 create for them so the process is
4:58 managed properly
5:01 also sometimes what happen here is many
5:03 people just trouble the admins that you
5:06 know on this app i don't have an access
5:08 just provide me an access but now with
5:11 this co in place admin have one stop
5:12 place where they can see all the
5:14 available power automated power apps and
5:16 they can change the owner they can just
5:18 assign the permission with simple
5:20 interface they don't need to go here and
5:23 there with the different environment
5:26 so with this co toolkit this task become
5:28 very easy also the power bi dashboard
5:30 which is provided in the organizational
5:33 level helps us a lot it provides all the
5:36 detail inside obviously it's a very
5:39 detailed topic so maybe in the upcoming
5:40 video series i will be talking more
5:43 about this thing in detail but yeah this
5:44 is the overall idea
5:46 also one more important thing that
5:49 mostly dlp policies is handled by power
5:51 platform admin center and in admin
5:54 center we are defining the dlp policies
5:57 but now it created uh now as a part of
6:00 coe we can manage the dlp policies using
6:03 the apps itself so this is the beauty of
6:05 administration model
6:06 now let's talk about the second
6:08 component of co stutter kit which is
6:10 governance component
6:13 sometimes as an admin it's our duty to
6:15 gather the additional information about
6:18 the apps that your makers are creating
6:20 for audit purpose and
6:23 to track everything that why the app has
6:25 been created and what are the different
6:27 connectors that are being used to
6:30 develop the app this is also helpful
6:32 with the auditing purpose and sometimes
6:34 when as an admin you want to do some
6:36 data cleaning process this information
6:38 might help you
6:40 for that governance component comes up
6:42 into picture
6:43 now let's talk about what are the key
6:45 features provided by the governance feature
6:46 feature
6:49 so you can manage the audit process of
6:52 your apps using the governance model
6:54 also you can clean up the old object and
6:57 clean up the orphan object and also make
6:59 the app quarantine if certain roles are
7:01 not followed
7:03 now let's talk about each individual
7:05 thing in detail so first of all let me
7:07 talk about what type of audit process
7:10 does it provide so the audit process is
7:12 defined in such a way that every day one
7:15 schedule flow will run and check into
7:17 your tenant that if your apps are
7:19 compliant or not now what do we mean by
7:22 compliant here so whenever the app is
7:24 created basically the thing is that they
7:26 need to provide the business
7:28 justification and the other information
7:31 of the app now if those information are
7:33 not provided in detail which means that
7:36 app is not compliant so first of all
7:39 flow will find all the non-compliant app
7:42 then it is emailing the app owner to
7:44 provide the detailed information the app
7:46 owner will simply click on the email
7:47 link and
7:49 they will redirect it to the developer
7:51 compliance center app and fill in the
7:53 detail information
7:56 now as a power platform admin center the
7:58 business process flow will help you to
8:01 facilitate the auditing process and once
8:03 the app is approved there is one app
8:05 catalog when all the compliant app are
8:08 published so this is the audit process
8:10 which is available as a part of co
8:14 starter kit also as a part of governance
8:16 component it provide you the different
8:18 application for cleaning up your old
8:20 object cleaning up your orphaned object and
8:21 and
8:23 the facility to make the app quarantine
8:26 if certain business rules are not followed
8:26 followed
8:28 so that's overall idea about the
8:30 governance component
8:32 now let's talk about the third component
8:35 which is nurture component now nurture
8:37 component accelerate your adoption by
8:39 thriving with a community of makers
8:41 nurture component provide two main
8:44 features one is maker assessment app and
8:45 training app
8:48 now let me talk about maker assessment tab
8:48 tab
8:50 maker assessment app is something which
8:52 is useful for maker before they are
8:55 started developing the solution
8:56 let's say for an example most of the
8:59 time makers are not realizing about the
9:02 licensing and sub couple of premium
9:03 component that they are going to use
9:05 into their application
9:08 now this app provides a series of
9:10 question where they need to fill in the
9:12 different information depending on the
9:14 question it is providing the suggestions
9:16 over here that you know you are going to
9:18 build this kind of application so this
9:20 is requiring ai feature or sometimes
9:23 this is requiring premium connector so
9:26 before starting the development you can
9:28 make sure and you can aware your
9:31 customers about this features that you
9:33 know uh if we are going to develop this
9:35 kind of implementation then it require
9:37 premium licenses and we need to make
9:39 sure that we have premium licensing in
9:41 place otherwise we can just think
9:43 through some alternative ways so this is
9:45 very helpful for the makers
9:48 also it provides you the admin component
9:51 as well so as an admin you can change
9:53 the different questions so it will help
9:56 your makers in a day-to-day
9:58 maker app assessment
10:01 now it also provide training management
10:03 app so let's say for an example in
10:05 organization you wanted to do some
10:07 activities some training kind of things
10:09 so you can simply create your trainings
10:12 over here and users can easily join
10:15 those meetings and
10:17 it providing you the beautiful user interface
10:18 interface
10:20 where all the events will be
10:23 shown and all the users who are going to
10:25 part in that event as an admin you can
10:28 track that as well so one training
10:30 registration app is also provided in out
10:32 of the box component way with that part
10:34 of nurture component
10:36 now let's talk about the fourth
10:38 component which is theming component
10:40 we can use the theming component to
10:41 create and manage the themes for the
10:44 canvasser a theme contains a collection
10:45 of styles that define the multiple
10:47 design properties for controls
10:49 components such as colors font and borders
10:50 borders
10:52 these styles are applied automatically
10:55 when maker use the theme template app to
10:56 create the new app
10:58 now what happens here is let's say for
11:00 example in your organization you develop
11:02 one app you want to build similar kind
11:04 of five to ten different app so you can
11:08 just create a theme for your tenant with
11:11 your color phone format different type
11:14 of borders that you need and just create
11:17 one template for the powerapps and users
11:20 can easily download that template and
11:21 start building their app development
11:24 from it as well so this is the very
11:26 useful component
11:28 as a part of the coa toolkit you will
11:30 get the theming component as well
11:32 now let's talk about the fifth important
11:34 component which is innovation backlog
11:37 component for any organization
11:39 there is a possibility that many event
11:42 innovations are going to place in future
11:44 as well as there is a whole list of
11:46 backlog for the current development
11:48 now it provides a canvas app that is
11:51 used to share and vote on the ideas
11:54 describe the pain point and the app that
11:56 needs to be built in the future and it
11:59 is also measure the return of investment
12:01 so this is provide a canvasser where
12:04 anyone can submit the ideas anyone can
12:06 afford the ideas if any developer is
12:08 available they can just pick up the idea
12:10 and start working on it also as a
12:13 developer you can connect to the voters
12:16 who has added this idea also deep as
12:18 also this app is designed in such a
12:20 manner that it it measures the return of
12:23 investment as well so depending on the
12:25 priorities we can start working on the
12:27 different innovations in the organization
12:29 organization
12:31 so if i explain you in a simple word it
12:32 is something that
12:35 for microsoft we have different ideas
12:37 panel like powerapps ideas or power bi
12:39 ideas people are submitting the
12:41 different ideas we are uploading them
12:43 and depending on the priority microsoft
12:45 team is working on the same you can
12:47 consider the similar thing as a part of
12:49 innovation backlog app so that's all
12:52 about the overall co starter kit model
