Why this exists: Low-code isn't failing because the platform is weak. It's failing because we skip the part where we figure out what we're actually building. You wouldn't pour a foundation without a blueprint. Same idea.
For you if: You're a Delivery Lead, Admin Lead, or maker who's tired of solutions that collapse under their own weight. Or you're about to start something new and want to do it right.
How to use this: Work through the modules in order. Each one builds on the last. You can also jump to a specific phase if you're already partway through.
Four things you must have in place before you touch the tool. If you can't check these, you're not ready.
Identify the problem, map the current process, optimize before you automate, and create a project plan.
Functional vs non-functional requirements, how to run capture sessions, and getting stakeholder sign-off.
Data structure, app type, where logic lives, and security by design. All before you open Power Apps.
Final checklist before you build. Plus: how to use Process Maps in Power Apps Plans if you have them.
Real talk on what happens when you skip these steps—and why the checklist protects your time.
