Engage your maker community with the new Power Platform communication site template

Organizations that adopt Microsoft Power Platform and build an internal community often have the following key objectives:

• Inspire makers by showcasing success stories of what has been achieved with Power Platform
• Share how Power Platform fits with the digital transformation strategy of your organization
• Connect makers to form a thriving community that can help each other, collaborate on ideas, and discover new ways to apply technology to achieve more
• Enable makers to successfully build impactful solutions within the requisite guardrails established by governance guidelines and policies

A central and searchable Power Platform communication site to share rules of engagement and processes with your maker community can be a significant help for users trying to get things done. This should be a one-stop shop for makers to find out everything they need about getting started with Microsoft Power Platform.

Today, we are excited to provide you with a template for creating a central Power Platform communication site. The Power Platform communication site template is a SharePoint site that provides you with a starting point of content and page templates. This communication site is the place where your Power Platform community can find the news and resources they need, including digital governance and compliance guardrails, upcoming events, success stories and more.
