Congratulations, you've reached the end of the course. You've had a taste of what Microsoft Power Platform has to offer and had a chance to get hands-on with some of the features and functionality available to you so that you can start solving some of those business challenges. In this module, you will get a chance to put your new knowledge and skills to the test in a practice exam. But don't worry, not until you've had a chance to remind yourself of the key topics covered throughout the course. All of this will prepare you to schedule, take, and successfully pass the exam PL 900, Microsoft Certified Power Platform Fundamentals. In this module, you will recap on the content covered in the previous modules in this course. Take a practice exam. I'm prepared to take the certification exam PL 900. Now, let's take a look at the key topics and objectives. First, you had an introduction to all the components that make up Microsoft Power Platform. Microsoft Power Apps, Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Power Virtual Agents, and learned that Microsoft Dataverse is the common currency that enables the components of Microsoft Power Platform to work together. You saw how Microsoft Power Platform enables you to craft solutions that empower you to drive your business with data and discovered that the Power Platform suite of apps can help you build apps, develop automation workflows, visualized data, and create chatbots. You are now able to describe the various cutting edge components and features such as AI Builders, Microsoft Dataverse, and connectors that enable Microsoft Power Platform to be leveraged to its full potential. Importantly, you learned that connecting to data sources allows you to integrate disparate parts of your business solutions to build them out cohesively. That this connection between data source and Microsoft Power Platform speeds up the delivery of business solutions and ensures a robust level of security built-in. You explored and defined the basic concepts of the Microsoft Dataverse. You also identify the ways you can connect and customize data connections to Microsoft Power Platform applications. One of the key concepts is how Dataverse connects easily to all the aspects of the Microsoft Power Platform, which means that you can fully control, automate, and strengthen your business. Next, you learned how to recognize the value and many capabilities of Power Apps, such as that it is a no-code or low code platform that builds off concepts like formulas in an Excel workbook, such as sum and text, and took a deeper dive into the three types of apps that you can build using Power Apps, each suited to different scenarios and end-users. You looked at how Power Apps can be used to solve business problems, such as will elite become a customer, will a project be profitable, will a customer churn or stop doing business with you based on activity. You then took a deeper dive into Microsoft Power Apps, looking at tools such as Power App Studio, which enables you to start building incredible apps straight from your browser. You had the opportunity to build your very first canvas app using data from a Microsoft Excel documents stored in OneDrive for Business. You discover that Power Apps is comprised of a large library of functions that can be combined to create unique formulas very similar to the language you use in Microsoft Excel. This powerful feature that enables you to combine functions into formulas to solve complex problems, means you do not need to write complicated code like traditional developers to give your app the functionality it requires. This is the power of the platform. You learned the difference between Canvas and model-driven apps and how model-driven apps help you to quickly view your business data to speed up decision-making instead of creating complex apps. You explored how to model your data and define your business processes before starting to build your app. You got hands-on experience constructing your first model-driven app, configuring its various components, and enabling user roles to ensure a high level of security, and you explore the key elements of Microsoft Power Apps and App Designer that enable you to develop an app and output a dashboard that meets your end-users needs. You were introduced to Microsoft Power Automate and learned how you can streamline repetitive tasks and business processes. You explored how to build the flows available to you and the different business needs they meet and how you can configure repeatable business process flows that when triggered, leap into action and perform the process for them. You learned how to leverage Microsoft Power Automate to allow internal and external audiences to view and interact with data from Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365. You learned about the three types of flows, Cloud flows, business process flows, and desktop flows. You discovered how it can easily connect data and services across the web and even on-premises, but also allows you to create custom connectors and how this can be leveraged to build simple workflow to help improve productivity and simplify tasks. Finally, you learned how to build an automated solution using Microsoft Power Automate. Next, you learned all about Power BI and how it helps business users and developers alike to easily analyze, visualize, and collaborate on data. You've explored Power BI's key concepts and saw that its foundation is made up of three main building blocks and you leverage Power BI to easily build reports and dashboards with interactive visualizations. You learned how to share your dashboard with others so that you can present, gain feedback or collaborate on significant business data. You discovered how other organizations have used this solution to drive business results with actionable insights. Finally, you saw how Power Virtual Agents can help you publish bots to engage with your customers on multiple platforms or channels including live websites, mobile apps, and messaging platforms like Microsoft Teams and Facebook. You discovered ways organizations have used this technology to build chatbots solutions for their business. You learned how to define the key chatbot concepts and processes and got hands-on experience developing your very own chatbot. You leveraged Power Virtual Agents to quickly and easily create powerful bots using a guided no-code graphical experience and saw how in just a few steps Power Virtual Agents can build an intuitive and conversational chatbot which provided you some insight into the value and capabilities of Microsoft Power Virtual Agents. There we are. What an exciting journey that was. I hope you enjoyed learning about the dynamism and capabilities of Microsoft Power Platforms and are ready to put your knowledge and understanding to the test. Good luck with the practice exam.
