Summary

Completed

Fusion Development is designed to empower both development and business teams to create better software, faster.

During this module, you met the team at VanArsdel Heating and Air Conditioning and learned how they're forming a Fusion Development Team to increase their tech intensity to solve business challenges. Tech intensity involves:

  • Adopting technology
  • Building individual capability to use technology
  • Ensuring organizational trust in technology deployment

Fusion Development Teams bring together professionals from across the company. These teams empower Citizen Developers—business professionals—to create applications that solve unique problems, supported by their Professional Developer peers. Key characteristics of Fusion Development Teams include:

  • Citizen and Professional Developers collaboratively brainstorming and creating solutions to company-wide challenges
  • Citizen Developers building Power Apps that directly address their business needs
  • Professional Developers supporting these apps by developing or reusing APIs
  • The team coordinating app and API development to avoid duplication and promote reuse

In future modules, you'll join Kiana and Maria as Kiana explores Power Apps development from a Professional Developer perspective. You'll also create a web API to be consumed within a Power App for the Field Inventory Management System.
