Series Intro - 10 Governance Structures to Guarantee Success with Dynamics 365 & Power Platform

Dynamics 365 & Power Platform projects fail for many reasons.

Firstly, let’s define ‘fail’. Failure is not the inability to get the system installed. Nor is it not securing any champions once installed.

What I mean by fail is that your Dynamics 365 & Power Platform solution does not become seamless to the business.

Failure is defined by three things:

1. It isn’t willingly adopted by users because it doesn't make their working lives better.

2. It fails customers who do not learn to love dealing with the organisation through the technology.

3. It fails in a material way by not accelerating the business.

It is like a progressive disease. Without governance structures in place, common symptoms start to appear and imminent death, project death, is just around the corner.

Death is avoidable through good governance structures.

In this ‘Top 10 Governance Structures to Guarantee Dynamics 365 & Power Platform Success’ blog series, I will share the top ten death avoidance strategies:

1. Steering Groups

2. Super User Groups

3. Design Authorities

4. Change Advisory Boards

5. User Surgeries

6. Weekly Updates

7. Agile Project Approach

8. The No Code Rule

9. Process Re-Engineering

10. Corporate Mindset
