Sharing success stories and assigning champions creates a buzz throughout your organisation that will help with a successful roll-out.

Show and tell sessions are a way of sharing what your organisation is creating and how your users can benefit from each Power App.

Hackathons are a great way to get a diverse team looking at internal business processes and how they can be automated and digitalised. They also allow for fast prototyping of solutions, as prototype apps can be created in as little as a day.

Pythagoras have delivered successful hackathons that have sparked new ideas and prototype Power Apps for many organisations.

Promoting the benefits of the platform internally will accelerate adoption. Some internal promotion ideas include:

• Creating posters or newsletters highlighting benefits and any updates.
• Recognising individuals’ excellent utilisation of the platform.
• Holding drop-in sessions to collate feedback and answer any questions.

If you plan on using citizen development, building internal communities using Yammer or Teams creates a centralised place for discussions and knowledge sharing. This can be used to store all available resources to help your citizen developers follow best practice recommendations and brand guidelines.

End-user training should be provided to help users get familiar with the new platform and how to use their new apps.

Train-the-trainer sessions are a good way to upskill internal teams, equipping those involved with information needed to train others. This can work particularly well if you plan to create internal ‘Champions’ who will act as the conduit between your end-users and those creating and updating your Power Apps.

Admin training can teach your IT leaders and citizen developers about the governance, security and best practice for creating and rolling out Power Apps.
