Build working judgment for Power Platform functional solution design.
What you should expect
Build working judgment for Power Platform functional solution design.
This Field Guide develops a working mental model of Power Platform functional solution design. You will connect model business data and process requirements in Dataverse, configure model-driven apps, canvas apps, forms, views, pages, and user experiences, design Power Automate flows, workflows, business process flows, and automation boundaries, and configure Power Pages, authentication, website security, templates, and external experiences. You are not just memorizing feature names; you are learning what owns the requirement, what can fail, and how to verify the outcome.
What you will learn
- model business data and process requirements in Dataverse
- configure model-driven apps, canvas apps, forms, views, pages, and user experiences
- design Power Automate flows, workflows, business process flows, and automation boundaries
- configure Power Pages, authentication, website security, templates, and external experiences
- recognize why one technically plausible alternative loses under the stated requirement
- apply Changed Fact reasoning and verify the design or implementation through operational evidence
Decision skills you will practice
- identify the governing requirement
- compare the nearest plausible alternative
- apply Changed Fact reasoning
- trace prerequisites, dependencies, and failure paths
- verify configured state, effective state, runtime outcome, and negative-path evidence
Who this is for
functional consultants translating business requirements into Dataverse, apps, automation, Power Pages, security, and governed Power Platform solutions
Use this when you need to learn the architecture, mechanics, dependencies, tradeoffs, failure paths, and verification logic behind the certification.
Decisions you will learn to distinguish
- Dataverse configuration vs app-layer configuration
- workflow/business process flow vs Power Automate flow
- Power Pages authentication vs page/web-role authorization
Why JITA is different
Microsoft explains the platform. JITA teaches the decision.
Microsoft Learn explains the services, features, and documented behavior that support Power Platform functional solution design. JITA connects those capabilities into decisions: what owns the requirement, what the nearest alternative is, what changes when one fact changes, and what evidence proves the implementation worked.
