• Power Platform Governance & Strategy: Define and implement enterprise standards for environment strategy, Data Loss Prevention policies, connector governance, Managed Environments, tenant settings, capacity, licensing, ownership, inventory, lifecycle, and risk management.
• Application Lifecycle Management: Establish and improve development, test, and production practices using solutions, environment variables, connection references, source control, deployment pipelines, and release controls. Support CI/CD through Azure DevOps or GitHub where appropriate.
