Introduction to Power Platform Exercises
The Lab Guides are a key part of the Power Platform learning experience. They allow learners to put into practice what they have learned in official courses and to strengthen technical knowledge through direct experience with Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Pages.
Each lab is designed to simulate real business scenarios, offering the opportunity to experience the full solution lifecycle: from data model design to app and automation creation, and finally publishing dashboards and web portals.
