About This Wiki¶
Enterprise platforms don't fail at launch. They struggle after success — when ownership is unclear, incidents repeat, and governance can't keep pace with adoption.
Why This Wiki Exists¶
Power Platform is one of the most powerful low-code environments available. It is also one of the most genuinely governable at enterprise scale — when its governance surface is used deliberately.
Most enterprise teams discover this too late. The pattern is familiar: fast initial adoption, governance that lags behind, expensive remediation when production workloads accumulate in unintended places. Then a compliance finding, or an incident, that forces the conversation.
This wiki exists because that pattern is preventable. It distils governance and operating model work across real enterprise Power Platform implementations into guidance that is opinionated, practical, and honest about tradeoffs.
The Four Frameworks¶
Enterprise frameworks form the organising structure:
BOLT — Business-Owned Low-Code Technology Enablement. How business and IT collaborate to build, own, and scale digital solutions. Four principles, four delivery tiers, six accountable roles.
SCALE-OPS — The eight-capability platform operating model. How to govern and operate Power Platform at enterprise scale — from environment strategy and DLP through to CoE operations and capacity management.
DIALOGE — The seven building blocks of a modern solution. Data, Integration, AI, Logic, Operations, Go-Live, and Experience — technology-agnostic by design, mapped to Power Platform implementation.
SHIELD — The six pillars of enterprise security. Sight, Harden, Inspect, Enforce, Lockdown, and Defend — covering the full security surface from identity to threat response.
Together they cover every dimension of enterprise Power Platform from the ground up.
What Makes This Wiki Different¶
Opinionated. This is not neutral documentation. Every page takes a position on what good looks like — and explains what goes wrong when you don't follow it. Enterprise teams need guidance they can act on, not options catalogues.
Enterprise-first. Written for organisations running Power Platform at scale — with real security requirements, real compliance obligations, real multi-team governance challenges, and real consequences when things go wrong.
Framework-structured. Organised around named frameworks with consistent structure — not a collection of blog posts. Every page maps to a pillar, every pillar has maturity levels and checklists, and every framework connects to the others.
Built from real implementations. Not theoretical. Every recommendation comes from enterprise environments where the approach has been tested against real business requirements, real delivery challenges, and real compliance constraints.
How to Use This Wiki¶
Start with What Brings You Here? — choose the path that matches your role, and follow the reading guide from there.
If you already know the frameworks, use the top navigation to go directly to any framework or pillar page.
If you're assessing readiness, use the Enterprise Readiness Assessment — all checklists from all four frameworks consolidated in one place.
