Every pro developer knows that Power Apps has pre-built templates and a drag-and-drop interface, making it easy to build professional-looking web and mobile-ready apps. But without ready-made generic components in an app—such as header, footer, or in-app notifications—they need to build it again from scratch when they develop a new one.
If you’re dealing with one to three simple apps, this scenario sounds easy, but what if you need to build ten or twenty complex apps? The repetitive coding then becomes a time-consuming exercise. If many of your citizen developers build their own apps, it could also lead to clunky, unstandardised-looking app components.
At Professional Advantage (PA), we always seek out creative and innovative ways to deliver our client’s IT projects efficiently and cost-effectively. As a result of this exciting journey, we developed Power Apps Lifecycle Accelerator (now called PA Smart Apps Framework) to help our clients innovate faster while staying in control of the apps their citizen developers build.
Introducing Power Apps Lifecycle Accelerator
The Lifecycle Accelerator is a best practice approach—developed by Professional Advantage—to building applications in Power Platform that includes reusable app components, governance frameworks, and optimised deployment environments. It is a proven approach towards ensuring your organisation maintains control, ensures compliance, and drives long-term success.
What’s great about using PA’s Power Apps Lifecycle Accelerator?
Stay in control of the apps your citizen developers build.
Your creative and innovative tech-savvy employees will spot new opportunities to work in smarter ways. However, putting a low-code application platform like Power Apps into their hands without the proper governance and guidance could create future burdens for your IT team.
The governance frameworks included in the Power Apps Lifecycle Accelerator will help your citizen and pro developers alike to build apps that comply with your organisation’s IT and business compliance standards. This ensures that the right architecture, security, licensing requirements, and appropriate deployment environments govern every software they build.
Cut development time.
The reusable app components through PA’s Power Apps Lifecycle Accelerator will help you build an app’s generic parts quickly and conveniently by standardising your typical application elements, such as its header or footer. With the templated components of your apps available as plug-and-play through the Lifecycle Accelerator, your teams can now develop apps faster, stay productive, and focus on the more critical aspects of their apps.
These typical app or form elements would take less than five minutes to create once established in PA’s Lifecycle Accelerator:
- Pop-up messages or alerts.
- Notification templates.
- Security trimmed buttons.
- Audit log features.
Easily build standard-looking apps.
Using PA’s reusable app components in the Lifecycle Accelerator will help you balance giving your citizen developers the freedom and creativity they need to build apps while ensuring they are consistent with your company’s branding guidelines. This allows easy standardising of the look and feel of the components used no matter how many apps they build.
