Session Abstract

ALM in Power Platform can take a lot of shapes depending on you, the project, the customer and many other influential factors. There is a lot of pure-ism going around regarding ALM, preaching a “one truth to rule them all”. But reality is that even Microsoft isn’t (fully) opinionated on how ALM for Power Platform should be done… despite the new source code file structure, the native GIT source control, and the pipeline features giving us a glimpse of such a future (that’s not fully there yet). Yannick has been searching 8 years for “the perfect ALM” and hasn’t found it. He improves his process every year a little bit, or sometimes a lot. Tweaking it for the changing realities and new features of the platform, working around limitations and challenges, and mostly to ease a pain he feels in his existing process. Join Yannick in this session to learn about getting started with ALM, how any ALM is better than no ALM, options within and outside of the platform, … and you’ll definitely find the ALM that is right for you!

Yannick Reekmans

Yannick (a Microsoft 365 Development & Business Applications MVP) was born and raised in SharePoint, starting his career in 2011 when SharePoint 2010 was still new and shiny. The changing reality of the cloud made him expand his knowledge to the whole of Microsoft 365, Azure, and Power Platform. He is a Managing Partner and Cloud Solution Architect at Qubix, a Belgium-based consultancy firm, responsible for the technical underpinnings of products and solutions. Problem-solving and development are his passions, and he is still working day-to-day with code. He always asks the important questions: How does it work? What do you want to achieve? Does it have an API? Do we really need development for this? Where's the coffee?
